Micro-organisms must kill others to survive, and the success of beneficial micro-organisms is necessary for our own survival.
http://slideplayer.com/slide/7233430/24/images/5/The+importance+of+microorganisms:.jpgThe Arctic and its peoples have a hierarchical system wherein plant-based and other essential nutrients are largely harvested through meats. Plants in the Arctic Ocean are eaten raw by micro-organisms and others, which are then eaten raw by greater intermediate predators, which are then eaten raw by even greater intermediate predators such as fish, seals, and bears, whose organ meats are often eaten raw by Yupik peoples to retain the transmission of nutritive value. This is the origin of hunter myths such as eating the organ meats of an animal imparting its "soul" or "life-force" or "other superstitious bullshit". Without these stories, and without those traditions, our Yupik populations simply couldn't survive.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YupikWe are constantly eating other organisms incidentally in and on our foods. A "raw vegan", simply isn't. To be purely vegan, is not consistent with survival.
