A lot of vegans see animals as deserving of the same dignity as pets or humans. With this mindset the "thrown away" meat is about as much of a waste as burying your grandma instead of eating her.

This is a false equivalence. We regularly "throw away" remains (by burying or incinerating them) that could have been donated to science or organs that could have been donated to patients in need. Eating discarded meat seems more morally equivalent to ensuring that grandma is an organ donor. It's not as if discarded meat in a landfill or buried Grandma's in a cemetery are contributing in any meaningful way back to the ecosystem.

Not really it’d be like eating grandma when you can just go buy something else. Organ donation saves lives and is essential, eating flesh is not.

She was dry as a bone. Maybe a broth
