Why do we not eat carnivore meat?

[Ichinisan]

I'm pretty sure most (all?) of the fish I've eaten were naturally carnivorous.

Shark meat is a delicacy / status symbol and anyone that seeks to ban it is a racist.

Dieee!!!!!!

 

[LumbergTech]

Carnivores would also be (in a wild sense, not raising them) more dangerous to eat because pollutants would amass in them from eating other things.

I absolutely love your avatar. Can I have a link to a bigger pic of it?

OK, for some reason I cant find it on the interwebs.
Check the Jesus H Hume thread.

I'm part of the crowd that considers fish meat. It's an animal, you eat it's flesh, it's meat. Lots of fish species we eat are carnivores. Salmon for example.

LOL! :biggrin:

I've eaten shark and it is pretty good actually.

Shit sandwich.

 

[gorobei]

western countries used to eat shark all the time back before truth in advertising. stores used to sell "swordfish" steaks that people would buy up by the pounds. then when they were forced to label it as shark, the market dried up.

 

[sleep]

forced, you mean kill innocent women and children?

Fruits and veggies taste the best 'cause they're helpless to slaughter.

I have no problem eating shark meat but cutting the fins off it and leaving it to die is just plain wrong. That practice should be illegal and punishable by death by dismemberment.

Agreed.

Over here we eat the entire thing.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Anything I find offensive should be punished by slow-torture leading to death.

Chickens will eat worms and insects.

Also, plenty of people eat dogs and cats.

Meat cost more to feed a domesticated animal, hence, it's much to expensive to domesticate an exclusive carnivore.

Best album ever! Loudest as well.

Because you don't want to piss off the rest of them obviously.

You eat a cow, who cares what another cow is going to do to you. They are dumb and slow. Worse case they'll stand in the middle of the road so you smash your car into them in hopes that you die.

You eat a tiger, you won't even see death coming until another has collapsed your trachea and broken your neck in revenge.

 

[Blackjack200]

Like for instance, wolves, tigers, etc.

Instead we eat domesticated grazers - and of course it's obviously easier to domesticate an animal that you won't eat you while you're asleep, but then again we've domesticated dogs and cats as animals; not exactly carnivores per se, but their ancestors seem closely related to one at the very least.

So outside of the obvious dangers, why do we not eat carnivore meat? Does it not taste all that great?

:fusetalkconfusedsmile:

i like cats and dogs.

I think we should eat more goats. They are underrated.

 

[Oyeve]

cows and pigs have a special place in my heart

MMMM, ribs.

Only in this country. The middle east and asia eat more goats than any other animal.

 

[swanysto]

You are also forgetting that it is much harder to produce huge amounts of most Carnivores. Besides it being expensive to feed and raise these things, they do not mate/reproduce well in captivity. They also don't reproduce as often as herbivores like cows, pigs, and chickens.It would be nearly impossible to have a steady supply of something like Tiger meat.

Yes, but I'm not about to move...

In the mean time .. one of my friends at work slaughtered a goat for Eid, so he might hook me up Otherwise I often get goat when it's available in restaurants, and there are a lot of restaurants in the Chicago area

 

[ElFenix]

we eat way up the foodchain when we eat fish. tuna is practically a wolf.

for the most part we don't eat domesticated predators because, as explained, it costs a lot to feed them. they might also taste funny but i dunno.
