One Third of Canadians Say Cannibalism is Not Necessarily Morally Wrong


A small scale survey of about one hundred Canadians shows that about one-third of Canadians believe that cannibalism isn't morally wrong in certain circumstances.

When asked "Do you consider cannibalism to be morally wrong?" 67.01% said yes,  27.84% said yes, except in certain circumstances and 5.15% said no.

For more information see the table below:

17 people reported they resided in British Colombia
21 people were from the Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) 
44 people were from Ontario 
Only 6 were from Quebec
5 were from Atlantic Canada (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.)
4 resided outside of Canada but were Canadian citizens.  

The statistics from Quebecers and those from Atlantic Provinces are especially unreliable. 


A similar survey is being conducted for Americans (linked to here) and a larger scale survey for Canadians is being considered.
