My, what nice guys (killed over 20 of neighbor’s cats)

[BigRed]

So then why would you eat a frog and not a malamute?

Show me where I said such a thing.

I'm asking.

 

[BigRed]

I'm asking.

Why would I not?

 

[ancjr]

Why would I not?

If anyone likes frog or dog I don't really care, I just don't understand why anyone would eat one and not the other. Rhetorical question. No need for an answer.

I can't speak for him, but for me, a Malamute was bred for human companionship. It is a domesticated and socialized animal. I've never eaten frog, but I would try it. I just cant imagine that the nutritional value would be worth it, unless I ate a whole lotta their legs. Even then, I might have a bit of guilt, wondering about all those poor frogs spending the rest of their lives rolling around in wheelchairs.

20 dead cats seems like a good start...

We had "pet cattle" and "pet rabbits" when I was a kid, so I guess that has some bearing on my perspective. We recognized their personalities and gave them names. And we also ate them for dinner.

Push man hard enough, you may be surprised at what man will eat.

That too.

I mean, 20 bucks is 20 bucks... LOL

We named our pet rabbits and goats things like BBQ but it really didn't matter what we named them. We knew that anything that wasn't being kept as breeding stock or to produce milk was going to freezer camp and was going to be on the table. We would come home from school, and mom would be out by the barn butchering rabbits or goats.

We didn't keep stock or milk. Owls got some of the rabbits once.

Those were probably not pets in the traditional sense of the word. I'm reasonably certain that you didn't have a bovine laying next to your bed, waiting for you to wake up the next morning to go adventuring. Pretty sure that horned beast didn't look at you with an expectant expression, sometimes seemingly knowing what you were thinking or were about to do, or wailing alongside you all the way home when you broke your arm, or defended you from other malicious dogs.

They weren't really pets, were they? If they were, I don't think you would have put "pet X" in quotes.

I would like to accept this challenge. Please bring me The Constitution.

We had Herefords and Angus, both of which are polled. The Herefords were as docile as pets. They'd follow us and came when called. We'd pet them and even ride them around when we were little. They liked being petted and scratched and were expecting food of course. The Angus was a little more skittish, but we'd play ball and ride bikes right in the lot among them and never got hurt. Never tormented or harrassed them either.

We didn't handle the rabbits beyond petting on them because they were pretty wild and too big for us to pick up and handle as little kids.

Perhaps.

Following a long train of abuses and usurpations and breaches, the States and the people of the States can withdraw consent and tell the central state to eat it...and where to shove it.

Long past due.

While we're on the subject of eating animals, or perhaps killing them and not eating them, I would like to propose that we start killing some animals to extinction.

#1 would be deer. What a useless, stupid, nuisance animal. Their only purpose seems to be to eat our crops and get hit by our cars. Open season, no limit, no such thing as wanton waste. Don't want to eat them? Shoot them, humanely, and leave them where they lay. Buzzards gotta eat, same as the worms.

Next? Big cats. You wanna eat me? Die in place, let the scavengers have you.

Then bears. Not so badass when I park a 308 in your brainpan, are you? LOL!

And don't even get me started on sea creatures like sharks. You got teeth? We have machineguns. Stupid f'ing jellyfish? Sting me? "Accidental" oil spill on your habitat. How you like that?

Anyone want to talk about monkeys? Because I could really talk to you about monkeys.

I guess you're not worried about the law of unintended consequences.
