Corbin posed the question, it is human nature to consume meat even if we find it morally wrong? To my knowledge humans are still considered omnivores, which means they eat both meat and plants. Based on this I would assume that if humans didn't have the capacity for complex thought, language, and the other attributes that separate the human animal from the nonhuman animal, they would eat meat on the basis of instinct much like apes have been observed to do. So is it human nature? I would say yes, but at the same time, the fact that humans can think like they do complicates having a definite answer.
