Harvesting implies he killed and ate it. Whether you see that as a euphemism or more graphic probably depends on your dietary philosophy.

Why? It has nothing to do with my dietary “philosophy” harvest just seems like very silly word to use in this case for no straightforward reason.

It not like anybody would say that they “harvest” farm animals (I hope)?

Ah, gotcha. I think you're just not accustomed to this use of the word. It's in the dictionary and people use it that way. In this case, probably used for effect in the story, but it's legitimate.

Curious why you hope it's not used for farm animals?
