LOL I don't worry about "innocent" animals. It's my firm belief that God game them to us when He created them. Granted, we've abused our right to have "dominion" over them but that aside, my common sense tells me I shouldn't eat meat that used to belong to a predator. I've also heard the same thing from other folks that hunt for their food... like my youngest son among others.

It's just our culture, I think, that keeps us from eating certain meats. Look at the people from India. They don't eat cows! That's their culture.

Oh! About another "predator;" rattlesnake! People eat that but you wouldn't catch me eating one, predator or not! We killed several on the farm and a neighbor was there when we did it. I thought he was joking when he skinned one and asked us if we were going to BBQ it. (gag!!!!!!) Not "No!" but "HEEEEELL, no!!!" He took it home, BBQ'd it and ate it! (BARF!!!!) As far as I know, that rattlesnake was innocent. I have no way of condemning it for biting someone and killing them. LOL I don't care if they say it tastes like chicken! It sure didn't smell like chicken when the neighbor skinned it! eeewwwwww NASTY!!

Where is it that they eat dogs? Korea? Shame on them!!!! They're man's best friend! Again, that's just culture.

Howsomever... there are a couple of wild boar up in the canyon where we used to live on the farm. They've been wreaking havoc with crops and chasing down cars and putting some pretty nasty dents on them. If my youngest ever kills one of them, you bet your sweety bippy I'd be in line for some of that meat to make sausage with... predator or not! Wild pigs do eat meat on occasion. LOL Defining words: on occasion. And besides, one of them caused my son's best friend to run off the road and then had the nerve to put several dents on his little sports car! Innocent? I don't think so! LOLOL

Now see what you went and made me do?? I had to go have a rant on ... what was it? LOL Just kiddin' ya!
