It depends on the person - in Buddhist ethics this would be okay, however some (probably most) veggies would refuse.
Thats what I have trouble with, what is their reason?
whose reason? the buddhist's reason for saying it's ok, or the veggie's reason for refusing?
i suspect you mean the latter, and i'm really struggling to understand which part you don't get lol..
vegetarians do not eat meat by definition, ergo they will not eat haggis.. it
does not matter where the meat has come from, how it was killed/prepared, etc.. vegetarians do not eat animals, haggis contains animal parts.. that's it! lol..
i know you're struggling with a moral argument, but that is irrelevant and is a different question.. your question is "would [a vegetarian] eat haggis?".. the answer is "no"..
edit: sorry, i'm probably being unnecessarily argumentative.. it's been a very slow day at work, please forgive me lol..
what you're asking is one of those hypothetical questions that can never really be answered satisfactorily.. why hypothetical? because whilst you could
in theory produce haggis from animals which had died of natural causes, it's never going to happen.. a vegetarian who chooses not to eat meat because of moral objections is obviously not goint to have enough faith in any meat product to believe consuming it would fall in line with their beliefs, regardless of whatever promises have been made about its origins..
