Eating cats and dogs

[svrn]

anyone tried this? What about raw?

The mountain men say they best meat is from wild cats and dogs. And they usually eat it raw.

I prefer not eating other predators, I think it strays slightly away from the natural paradigm of hunter and hunted. By no means do I think this is the only way it could or should be. Some omnivores like pigs seem to universally be thought of as delicious, but to my knowledge dogs and cats are not usually preferred, both for social reasons and because of the toughness and taste of the meat. A few people have told me they tried a stew made with dog in Korea, and that they did not like it.

What mountain men do you know? Have you watched them eat a wild cat or dog raw? I've eaten fox and fisher, but they were cooked. I've also skinned a wild coyote, and it was slithering with worms, including round worms in its muscle and tapeworms within its digestive tract. I wouldn't touch its meat without cooking it to kill at least some of those parasites.

Like Spirit Bear, I shy away from omnivores. I stick to herbivores, particularly grazing animals, for my animal foods.

of all the foods known to the mountain men, the flesh of the cougar or mountain lion, known as "painter meat," was said to be the best of all

the meat of dogs was considered second in flavor to that of the cougar,

The neighbor kids started a rumor that I ate dogs.

I did butcher a fox once and tried a little of it.
It had a strong taste, neither bad or good.

Don't ever eat a fox! They go around houses, eat garbage, garbage fed poultry and get sick, even rabies.

Err, that's only urban foxes. Foxes in the wild should be fine.

In total and vast wilderness where no humans live, sure. But even in the most remote countryside, foxes hang around villages and are notorious to catch and eat poultry. If they were eating mine only, then I would eat those foxes as well...
