Vegans will hate me for this but I only eat animals that I don’t find particularly cute.
I don’t eat pig or cow meat because they are beautiful, intelligent animals with great personalities. I do eat lamb because I’ve worked on sheep farms and they are dumb assholes. I eat chicken because they are basically vicious dinosaurs who would eat me if our sizes were reversed.
I’ve yet to get first hand experience with live sausages in their natural environment so I proceed with caution on a case by case basis.
How about game sausage? Deer are bag of rocks stupid, though harmless.
But at least they get to live a natural life before walking round a corner into an rpg on the way back from the betting shop.
I’m not a hunter myself, but plenty of venison on the menu in my childhood in rural Arkansas. It’s definitely inferior to good beef. But, if you treat it like a tough, lean cut of cow, it’s fine. Usually this means adding fat, slow cooking, or both. I never found the taste bad, but chewy and ropy is definitely the default texture unless you work hard to make it more palatable.
When I cook at home, I’m vegan (beans, quinoa, cheese substitute, mostly), but when I go out I can certainly appreciate all meats and dairies.
No that’s a pretty cool stance to hear as a vegan, it means you’re fine with me shooting you because I think you’re a dumb asshole. One less corpsemuncher and they actually wanted it this way.

Uh, I have bad news on where sausages come from…
Germany?
Animals should be respected equally the same way humans are. You don’t disrespect ugly people, a lamb suffers as much as a cat or any other pet.
You or I may not, but some people absolutely do.

Deer are “overabundant” in my area. Guy I knew hunted them. One day he brings some deer meat to work for everyone to try.
It’s gross, it’s chewy, ropy, and tastes like juniper. I guess it’s free, but no thanks…
Maybe your guy just wasn’t a good cook …

If you ever get a clean shot on me I encourage you to take it 🙏
