Tucson Restaurant To Offer African Lion Tacos

How can this man be so cruel? Endangered or not, I wonder how he'd feel if he were these lions (etc)? He's "only doing it to get his name out". What a pathetic excuse and a selfish one. Sad too is that the Food and Drug Admin. approves. Do you or don't you approve?

Hey, if its legal, why not? I would be in support to get it banned, but as long as its not illegal, I wont bother a business...
However, I personally would never eat a carnivore's meat... its not healthy and gives me the creeps...
 
According to the Food and Drug Administration, lion and other game meat can be sold as long as the species isn’t endangered.

Sounds fine to me. I wonder if they actually trace it back to areas where it's legal.
 
I don't see a problem as long as the animals are farm raised. If they are poaching them out of the wild then there is a big problem though.

i doubt it. i bet there are enough weirdos wanting to get rid of their pet lions in the US to satisfy demand.
 
I don't like your posts so far, OP. You're just linking (mostly) to the same damn site, which isn't a very good one either.

That said, meat is meat. IDGAF if it's endangered.

I think Leary said it best -

Red meat, white meat, blue meat, meat-o-fucking-rama. You will eat it. Because not eating meat is a decision. Eating meat is an instinct! Yeah! And I know what it's about. "I don't want to eat the meat because I love the animals. I love the animals." Hey, I love the animals too. I love my doggy. He's so cute. My fluffy little dog.. He's so cute- There's the problem. We only want to save the cute animals, don't we? Yeah. Why don't we just have animal auditions. Line 'em up one by one and interview them individually. "What are you?" "I'm an otter." "And what do you do?" "I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands." "You're free to go." "And what are you?" "I'm a cow." "Get in the fucking truck, ok pal!" "But I'm an animal." "You're a baseball glove! Get on that truck!" "I'm an animal, I have rights!" "Yeah, here's yer fucking cousin, get on the fucking truck, pal!" We kill the cows to make jackets out of them and then we kill each other for the jackets we made out of the cows.

What kind of dog do you get to herd farm raised lion? I don't think a Blue Heeler or any kind of Shepard is going to be able to do it.

That would have to be some expensive meat btw, they require around 11-15lbs of meat a day as adults...
 
are african lion tacos the mane attraction?







not seeing a problem with this btw. i wonder if lion is delicious and i wonder how much the tacos cost.


carne asada tacos are ~1.50 and I got a huge lobster taco over the weekend for $6. soooooooo I guess $6 is my cap on tacos.

laws are sometimes slow to follow bad trends.

Morality vs Legality.

If it's not endangered and not a great ape, I dont see the problem either.
 
I am of the, unless they're poaching them from the wild, why not?

There is a burger place in Sacramento that sometimes has "lion meat." Considering how often (not often) they have it, I figure they source it from some old lion somewhere that is about to die or something.

Also, link to information about eating the meat of a carnivore?

They discovered some animals are pretty damn smart and actually have lives a little bit ago.

They also know we have a bit to much farm goods here that just get destroyed each year and paid out.
 
Thanks for the advertisement! I'm heading there next week.

Also saying "I wonder how he'd feel if he were these lions" is not making your point among people who could care less how any other food animal feels (it isn't a pondering point specifc to lions).
