I belive they used to be sold in one of upmarket shops in the UK. I don't see them anymore on their website so they probably gone. But see another example - no mention these are vegan. In my opinion this is clearly misleading.

Omnivore here.

I say if you don't even care what meat is in your sausage, meat replacement is fine too.

Whenever better-not-ask-mistery-meat is an acceptable option, meat replacement is acceptable as well.

If you'd buy that without checking the ingredients, you get what you get. Might be pig, chicken, goat, horse, beef, nutria, or lentils. If you don't care, you don't care.

Complete rubbish.

When the meat is not specified on the label, it is pork as this is what sausages are usually made from - in the UK anyway. Otherwise it says what meat it is.
