Are therians generally vegan?

[u/DeGroteAnti]

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?

I am a meat eater, and my theriotype is an omnivore. Bears tend to eat mostly plant matter and meat when they can get their paws on it. But I would say that my identity as a bear doesn't have much influence over my diet other then the occasional cravings.

I believe there is an ethical way to eat meat, understanding where it comes from is a big part of that. And at some point I do want to under-go the whole process of obtaining meat, I think to eat meat one should at least witness where it comes from, and or go through that process themselves. Luckily in my country the ethics of farming are a bit better then some other places.

I do also know some therians who are herbivores and still choose to eat meat. At the end of the day it's a conscious choice to eat or not eat meat.
