edit: and I can't believe people eat them... they're like a ferret or a mongoose.

It's still sad, but it looks like the Chinese gov't. thinks that SARS spread to humans because people eat these things.

I'd much rather eat a civet than some of the other things that they eat over there. Ever had Pidan, Wo Chun, or Chien tam con?

Entomophagy

Eh...it's not like from an ethical standpoint it's all that more wrong to eat say, a dog over a pig or whatever...it's not like the dog's any smarter than the pig or something.

And as for stuff you just don't wanna eat cuz it's yucky seeming, some of the stuff's damned tasty =P Those sea snails are pretty decent tasting...and no more weird than escargot(which is also tasty although the one time I had it I suspect it was largely because they doused it in butter).
