Actually, I agree with Corwin...the technical term for this situation is "icky", but not immoral.

Just cook it really really well. Among mammals, at least, cannibalism outside blood relatives is rare for the reason that it is a primo way of transmitting viruses and prions - hence mad cow disease.

It is therefore not immoral to do it only once but not very smart. After that it becomes immoral because when done repeatedly by many people it will circulate disease causing organisms and tends to increase their virulence, posing a risk to third parties.

It is said that if you can't get rid of rats completely you can reduce the population to only one. You live trap a dozen rats and put them in an empty drum with no food. They eventually get hungry enough to eat each other. When there is only one left, you release it. Every other rat in your building will supposedly leave to get away from the cannibal.

Reminds me of one of my favourite art-house movies “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover”.

never been there: Cooking may not make much of a difference when it comes to prions, but avoiding neural tissue might be a comparable solution.

Exactly what I was thinking.

What I'm wondering: how does one go about asking a 'hunter friend' to cut up one's corpse?

"Hey, Buck - that moose we split last year, you did a great job cuttin' that up for us."

"Yeah, well, I do it all the time-"

"Listen, I got a big favor to ask. First though, do you think Rover'd choke on a finger bone?"

Of course, it would be immoral to give the poor dog little bones that he would choke on, so one should probably chop of the hands and feet and set them out for the crows to work on. Probably the head, too. The bigger bones like femurs and ribs could be cut up on a band saw so they'd look just like the bones you get at Petsmart. A happy dog could gnaw on those for hours.
