| Re: Roast Badger...
I saw a dead deer at the roadside recently and there was a quick para in the paper saying that a car had hit it etc.
Quite few years ago there was a letter in Farmer's Weekly saying that someone had come across a deer dead by the road, butchered it and fed it to his dogs, which then died. The deer had been injured, someone had got a vet to come out and kill, presumably with a toxic/sedative injection.
If I am going to eat, I would want to kill, but I wouldn't want to kill. And yes, I have killed most commonly eaten farm animals, I would go with Hugh Fearnley-Wit, respect and be prepared to kill animals you keep for meat. Too many imponderables in road-kill. |
