[PottedMeat]

someone needs to buy up all the primates and set them loose in a local mall


...except the lemurs, this is what they're for:

dude, wtf, you can buy a Capuchin monkey, WHY would you want anything else.

 

[AMCRambler]

What's the difference between an exotic sheep and a regular sheep? Does it come with a stripper pole?

 

[sandorski]

What do they taste like?

Kangaroo isn't bad, reminded me of very lean beef

 

[CZroe]

I have wanted a wallaby for some time.

I was just talking about kangaroo dog treats with my co-workers. Huge money in kangaroo food.

Nothing too surprising really, I've see more exotic things in the past been raised in that area of the country decades ago.

And more invasive, those are more or less farm animals.

I had a guy I used to work with in Indiana invited me over to his house after he had moved and went to a different place, hadn't seen him in awhile.

We get done with dinner, was "check this out, kinda crazy"

I go out in the backyard his neighbor had a large enclosure just off his property with two full grown mountains lions in it.

Other things like fish and snakes, used to be people had crazy things like gaboon vipers and black Mambas or cobras a few guys I knew just from sotries of people they knew, I was more into fish at the time, but many that do fish do snakes also it seems.

Anyways, could go on about that awhile, but I won't.

I'd be very interested in eat, I mean, adopting that swan.

Just real fast as a note, some restaurants do specialize in that type of thing.

Has a steak house locally here was selling lion steaks awhile till people got a large enough outrage they shut it down after taking it off the menu, they sold all kinds of esoteric things awhile.

Swans be good eats. I really enjoy eating foods, even common ones, that no one eats like rabbit and goat. I'm still looking for a good goat connection. Quite a few farms around here raise it but, they all want about $9 lb.
