* In ''[http://fesandernst.com P.S.I.]'', the only non-sapient land animals are insects. This has [http://fesandernst.com/Guest_DebtOn01.htm obvious] implications on the food supply in the comic's universe.
* ''[http://suburbanjungle.com The Suburban Jungle]'' follows the 'fact of life' approach. Except in specific situations, such as the workplace, or a specifically 'No Predation Allowed' bar, it's basically A-OK to eat each other. Although you might expect a girl to get cross if it turns out you accidentally [http://suburbanjungleclassic.com/?p=49 ate her date].
* The
* ''[[The Cyantian Chronicles]]'': (Same artist/author as Shivae) Due to genetic engineering done by a long dead alien race, ALL sapient anthropomorphic Cyantians are omnivores. Only non-sapient prey species are consumed and an anthro wolf eating an anthro rabbit is still cannibalism. It is notable that a rabbit that eats mostly meat will have digestive troubles and hormonal imbalances. The same applies for carnivores that eat too much veggies.
** One character, Rama, the series [[Complete Monster]], inverts it, threatening to '''eat''' a sentient rabbit if she doesn't meet his expectations.
** this is essentially the same set up for the Antreyki in ''Triquetra Cats''.
* A variation occurs in in [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/
** If it's an enemy it's not ''food''.
** Tropers and Schlockites beware: ordinary animals (and for some time, a computer on Luna) are sentient, but humans, aliens, most [[A Is]], and special animals are sapient.
Line 379:
** In general, though, Schlock has no problem with eating his enemies alive (and why should he, if he doesn't have a problem shooting them), and him doing so frequently played for laughs. He does get a bit weirded out when he's forced to eat his ''allies'' from the neck down to keep going during Schlocktoberfest 2001, but he still goes through with it.
*** He also had only 5 cryokits for 29 people, so he had to trim them down a bit.
** [[Played for Laughs]] with an amphibian "beach monster" who [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-06-08 tried to eat Tagon], but armor and sidearm turned the table. And speaking of the table, that's what the next few pages were about. To the reverend's frustration, they didn't analyze the creature's brain to determine whether it was sapient before Schlock ate it. And then we see other "Whalelings" start a poetry night without him. {{spoiler|[[The Stinger|After the Toughs left]], we see the [[First Contact]] of local humanoids with Whalelings - apparently a nearby volcanic eruption (for which Toughs ''also'' were responsible) and finding broken skeleton of their relative helped them to adopt more cautious approach to everything out of water. }}
* ''[[Suicide for Hire]]'' features a [[Lampshade Hanging]] when Arcturus and Hunter, a mouse and a fox respectively, discuss milk: "You know of any wild animals that continue drinking milk not only after infancy, but from a source not even of its own species?" A caption in the border between panels reads: "To anal-retentive assholes like myself: You know what I mean. STFU."
* In ''[[Faux Pas]]'' all animals are non-anthropomorphic, but as they have grown up in a studio animal training center, they have learned to see each other as friends instead of prey; besides, there's plenty of chow for the foxes and cats (the origin of which they refuse to think about). However, some confusion ensues when the wild vixen Cindy joins the gang, and when her cousin Dusk appeared to have eaten one of the (named) rabbits ({{spoiler|relax it was an unnamed mouse}}).
Line 386 ⟶ 387:
* In ''[[Gene Catlow]]'', [[Word of God]] says that all meat comes from donors—furries who donate their mortal remains to be processed as food, much like [[Real Life]] organ donors. This is explicitly mentioned in the fanfic The Basalt City Chronicles, where Eugene Catlow says he wishes he could thank the donor of the meat he is eating for keeping himself in good shape.
* ''[[21st Century Fox (webcomic)]]'' originally had the carnivores eat meat (a fox, for instance, once took down a '''lion''' and made him into "lion jerky"), but when a law was passed that made it illegal for people to eat other people, they had to rely on S.P.A.M. (Scientifically Produced Animal Matter). When said law was repealed, people were quite pleased with the good-tasting S.P.A.M.

* ''[[Doc Rat]]'' [http://www.docrat.com.au/
* ''[[The Kenny Chronicles]]'' seems to avert this, herbivorous [[Funny Animal|Tarneki]] seem to have no problem with their non-anthro cousins being on the menu.
* In ''[[Horndog]]'', Tommy, a rat, and Leonard, a cat, engage in a conversation about Tommy's fear of being eaten. Also, a recent storyline involves Charlene becoming romantically involved with a Jewish lesbian mouse, which gives new meaning to the phrase "[[Pun|eating pussy]]".

* ''[[Panthera]]'' gives us [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1620 this gem] about a freshly killed deer.
* ''[[Daddy Long Legs (webcomic)|Daddy Long Legs]]'' takes the last approach, with predation being unpleasant but still a part of life. Things can still get really awkward from time to time, though- mostly in that Harvestman's favorite food are aphids, same insect as Crane's nanny.
* Frequently brought up in ''[[Subnormality]]'' as, despite being higher in the food chain than people, the Sphynx frequently holds discussions with people and integrates into modern society as best she can. Especially notable in that she later becomes good friends with the Pink Haired Girl (and even goes as far as {{spoiler|saving her life}} in a more recent comic), yet continues to eat humans regularly.
* In ''[[Wereworld (webcomic)|Wereworld]]'', it's taboo for weres to eat weres, but non-sentient animals are fair game, even related species (like Were-cats hunting down normal big cats). In the latter case, it's considered weird, but not strictly taboo (A footnote explains that it would be like a human snacking on primate meat).
