Is it OK to eat roadkill? According to AskCarla.com it is!

[Quixfire]

If people must eat animal carcasses, roadkill is a superior option to the neatly shrink-wrapped plastic packages of meat in the supermarket.

Eating roadkill is healthier for the consumer than meat laden with antibiotics, hormones, and growth stimulants, as most meat is today. It is also more humane in that animals killed on the road were not castrated, dehorned, or debeaked without anesthesia, did not suffer the trauma and misery of transportation in a crowded truck in all weather extremes, and did not hear the screams and smell the fear of the animals ahead of them on the slaughter line. Perhaps the animals never knew what hit them.

I personally will not scrape my dinner off the asphalt, how about you?

My dad ran over a peasant once and ate it. Or is that pheasant Well either way he ate it :Q

scraping something off the asphalt isn't the same thing as throwing the freshly smashed carcass of a deer that you just hit into your trunk (in terms of it being edible , not in terms of the legality {poaching})

 

Damn tasty

Animals in the wild normally carry quite a few parasites. No thanks.

The majority of wild game that people eat is not the type you find dead on the road.

[gopunk]

so if someone else hit it.. you shouldn't touch...

if you freshly hit the deer with your truck, there's no harm....

Sounds like a veg-head who wants the rest of us barbarians to realize something, can't quite put my finger on it though.

 

[rudder]

hmmm meat that has been run over 50 times and sitting in 90F heat, or nicely wrapped, chilled beef from the supermarket. You make the call.

[xuanman]

as long as it doesn't taste like tire rubber

For those interested here is a rather interesting article about human evolution and it's ties to our diet.

Beware it is a bit lengthy but well worth the read.

Slow roasted armadillo. mmmmmmmmmmmm

It actually tastes like chicken (or is it cat?)

 

[michaelh20]

My dad ran over a peasant once and ate it.

No, it is generally not okay to eat roadkill... Even if you hit the animal yourself.

The reason it is not safe to eat roadkill is because you don't know how badly the animal was injured internally when it was killed. If it's leaking fluids from all of its major organs, you aren't going to want to eat it.

This menu from a restaraunt was given to me by my grandpa, and I feel it is quite relevant to this thread.
