[Twiggy]

Looking at goose this year.

Animals eat other animals, and its not considered murder, so why is a human animal eating another animal suddenly become murder, eh?

 

[Randochap]

Meat is murder

TASTY, TASTY MURDER!

Really? I ate beaver many times. On one occasion I declined. I helped trap it some time before and packed it -- a big un -- 70lbs -- back through the snow to the trapper's cabin.

A week or two later, his native wife insisted on introducing my somewhat befuddled visiting city friends to this Canadian delicacy, so sends me out to the meat shed to chop a chunk off the frozen beaver carcass. When I got back, she was tipping a bottle of rum down my burly friend's throat. Knowing Lydia, I thought This ain't gonna end well, and made an excuse as to why we had to get moving, and bowed out.

We continued the two miles up to my cabin. Later, Lydia, incensed by the insult of refusing her hospitality and liberally dosed w/ rum, turned up armed with a 30/30. It was a long night.

One Thanksgiving, her son shot a Canada goose. That was tasty, if a bit greasy.

I never cared much for muskrat.

I feel like a delicate little mimsy ladyboy.

I might strip naked and roll on the frosty grass later to try and recover some semblance of manhood.

Grrrrrrrrrr.

So you do not like what I was planing then?

Most xmas dinner birds are female Turkeys because male Turkeys tend to be a bit 'big' for most domestic ovens. Male Turkeys are mainly reared for the volume of meat, so tend to be processed rather than sold whole.

I've never seen the gender of the bird printed on the packaging in the supermarket.

..

Pedantry corner:

Does 'gender' have any meaning in the context of a bird...?

 

[jonesy]

And death for no reason is murder.


FFS

No, that isn't how murder is defined.

 

[spandex]

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human person with intent or malice aforethought, as defined in common law countries. Murder is generally distinguished from other forms of homicide by the elements of malice, aforethought, and the lack of lawful justification. All jurisdictions, ancient and modern, consider it a most serious crime and therefore impose severe penalty on its commission.

If meat is murder then I'm going eat my turkey alive then. If I can catch the b*stard!

Funny you should mention it. Later, after we had disarmed Lydia and finished the rum, we all cleared a path through the snow, down to the sauna -- a converted tin trailer (caravan).

We chopped some wood and fired up the stove in the sauna, then used the axe to chop some steps through the ice, into the pool in the creek (which never gave me beaver fever) We put a kerosene lantern at the edge, so we could see where to dive. It was real pretty, lighting up the blue ice and green foaming water.

Once we were suitably heated and all glowing pink, we dashed from the sauna and dived into the glacial creek. That makes the manliest man shriek like a girl. The "womenfolk," especially those who had experienced chilbirth, screamed somewhat less loudly than the "menfolk". They did, however, have to be careful they didn't scrape their, erm, protuberant bits on the sharp, sandy creek bed. Not a pleasant sensation (or sight), when it happened.

One also had to be careful, not to get swept away, under the ice. That would be a nasty thing to happen.

On edit: If you need photographic evidence (or are just naughty -- nudity warning!) here it is. This photo was taken the spring before we moved the sauna down right onto the creek bank, so we could dive right out of the "door", into the icy creek.

But back to wild game. Another treat, especially in spring, was a tasty bear barbecue. Bear is very rich, but otherwise like pork. Though not directly related to the porcine family, the ursine beasties share their diseases, such as trichinosis.

After one night around the bonfire, gorging on Ursus americanus, one of our "tribe" became concerned that she had carved off and consumed a chunk that was a bit too rare. That occasioned a long trek out of the mountains to get the appropriate, er, tests.

Oh, and bikes. I did try a bit of riding, but my cotton tubulars weren't ideal on the mountain tracks, so my bike spent most of those days hanging from a spike on the front of my cabin.

Does a female turkey have a parson's nose?
