I would never eat lion meat unless it was a matter of life or death, but however I do love normal meat such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb, duck, turkey, quail, boar, woodcock, pheasant, guinea fowl, venison, seafood and most fish except tuna as it is an endangered species and it stinks.
I love bacon, burgers and all that kind of stuff :D
I think that humans should eat meat as we have evolved to eat it to grow larger brains which is how we got to where we are today.....
maybe in the future if everyone stopped eating meat then the brains might start to shrink and we would start devolving. :rolleyes:

There is no way a pure predator can taste good, even pork tastes off if they are given any type of omniivorus diet before eating.
 
"Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit."

When it comes to seafood, just about every fish, mollusc and crustacean eats the flesh of others, both fresh and rotting.


Lion Bars are also tasty.
 
I recently tried venison, a meat I've always been squeamish of in the past because of the Bambi/Rudolph connection. After years of putting it off I cooked and ate what amounts to a pretty bloody Disney character and all I can say is yum! ;)

I agree that Lion bars are also tasty, as is Lion cereal... :p
 
I like to see people connect with the meat they eat. I find it hypocritical that someone can eat meat & not take the effort to at least kill an animal & make it fit to eat at least once in their lives. If you're a fairdinkum vegan, fine.

Last week my eldest son brought 3 of his inner city mates out west. They watched me shoot/kill a sambar on Friday & a chital on Sat. These men are all in the music scene & had never seen anything like this before. I rolled the gut bags out where they dropped, gave them a quick run down on the plumbing & they helped lift the carcass onto the ute, once on the gimbal they all took turns with the skin (these were salted & taken home by one to make wall coverings). I broke the animals down on Sun into basic cuts & they all lent a hand. As you can imagine there was some discussion around the various joints, "is that all that holds the shoulder on? etc". They all took organic rump roasts & steaks home from an animal that for the first time they were connected too.

We had a few beers on the Sat night around the fire & there was a really interesting discussion on the morality & ethics around doing this. I sat back & listened (believe it or not).

Of the three friends one now wants to get his firearms licence, another isn't sure because of the hassles involved but would like to prepare an animal from start to finish himself next time (yes next time), & the third (who took the skins) had a great time but it didn't "rock his world".

Before the antis start throwing stones, I may add that these animals were culls as the populations I own & manage could best be described as "eruptive" & culling for conformation & herd health is a must, its not some ego gratification, or blood lust, or other dysimism folks like to vilify my culture with. I don't think the word "trophy" was even mentioned over the few days.

It's ironic that once these wildlife & others become someones private property they are no longer vulnerable. Now, what to do with an eruptive population of Persian fallow?

I'm a meat eater too :)
Meat is bad because of wildlife destruction for getting more place for livestock.
Just if African ungulates were widely domesticated... but everywhere outside national parks are cattle & goats & pigs, poorly adapted to environment and requiring special forage.
Commercially produced meat is less healthy than that from a harvested game animals.
 
I'm not a vegetarian anymore. Growing up in a Hindu household I was born a vegetarian and was one for the majority of my life. Then as I started getting into shape, I molded meat into my diet to give me that essential protein faster opposed to taking more supplements with the food I was previously eating.

I'd refer you back to the above post.

More farmers/land owners would run wildlife or "private game reserves" (there are many names, preserves, parks ,etc.) , but for the constant fight with beurocrats (you may include the zoo klux klaner's who it could be said seem determined to have a monopoly on the exotics trade, with laws based upon their own emotional ethics rather than conservation), & the animal libbers.

Running wildlife on large acres is sustainable when managed well, & has many colateral benefits for the wildlife which share this land, eg I haven't used a herbicide for a decade, with 250kg goats (sambar,lol) even the most invasive weed in my region (bidi/sifton bush) is controlled. Management is important though & this requires good monitoring. The largest investment is the many klm's of good fences to contain these animals.

In this part of the world public opinion is against running wildlife as stock on private freehold land, as opposed to domestic livestock on terraformed land. This again is because of an emotional & ethical argument rather than one based upon conservation, sustainability, or dare I say it? Profit.

I don’t eat meat. Most slabs of meat are held together using “meat glue.” Meat causes cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Pink slime is found in ground meats. Meat contains antibiotics and steroids. It also contains chemicals, pesticides and heavy metals. Meat may contain salmonella, e.coli or mad cow disease. It’s bad for the environment. Eating meat is inhumane. I will never put flesh in my body.

I've never heard of "meat glue" or pink slime?

The meat I eat has no antibiotics, steroids, pesticides, etc, etc. Salmonella & other bacteria are from poor handling & prion diseases usually from feeding animal protien back to herbivores (which I oppose). Eating meat (raising & killing animals) can be made far more humane than the treatment animals recieve in the wild from intraspecific competition or predators.

All this talk is making me hungry. If animals aren't ment to be eaten then why are they made from meat?

I tend not to mind ungulate nerd's photo comments too much because he is just being hyper enthusiastic, and he can laugh at himself if we poke fun which is good. However casarettoaleash seems to read the comments on photos and then deliberately re-post the same things, or ask questions which have plainly been answered in the earlier comments. It is like they are spamming but keep forgetting to attach the spam link for fake Gucci handbags on the posts.
 
Going to have a good cook out for memorial day

well marbled Ribeyes, Kielbasa Sausage with peppers and onions, and cheddarwursts, plus sides and beer.

All good points. The Gucci handbags made me laugh out loud. The dogs were not pleased.

I have never heard of cheddarwurst, although I could guess what it is. I googled it and, well, no thanks! However Kielbasa sausage sounds good!

I don't mind all the comments he/she posted on my pictures, it's all the questions they asked despite the same questions and answers being posted already on the photos! And I mean no offense to our new friend from Texas but please read before asking questions.

Wow, I'm sure nanoboy is seeing the irony in this right now:p
