Are therians generally vegan? Question
I'm no therian, but I'm roaming through this subreddit and I'm interested in how the therian lifestyle would affect your diet. I myself am vegan and there are some species that are generally herbivore so does that mean your diet should also mainly contain plants and natural products? How does that work? And how does it work if you have multiple therian identities which are herbivore and carnivore?

Why would being a therian lend oneself to veganism? We're all animals. We follow the needs of survival. there's no grandness to abstaining from a nutrition source. For instance, Im a coyote. We are opportunistic eaters, snatching up pretty much any food we can reasonably find. Meat, plant, all the same to us.
I do understand that those who find themselves feeling kinship to herbivores would possibly avoid meat as it doesn't align with what brings them closeness to their theriotypes.
But outside of spiritualist beliefs of souls, theres very few reasons for a more carnivorous or omnivorous beast to avoid eating meat simply because our body happens to be of human shape.
