That stuff can't possibly be legal, serving things like Mountain Lion.

What would some one have to do to make that legal?

It seems like it'd be quite a bit.

In most every Western States you can get permits to hunt Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion, by the way is hardly a threatened species these days, though it still needs carefull management.
Here is <a href="http://gf.state.wy.us/admin/regulations ... 42lion.htm" target=_blank>Wyoming's hunting info for Mountain Lion</a>:
Licensing costs are as follows:
Resident $20.00
Nonresident $250.00
Resident Additional $15.00
Nonresident Additional $75.00
This may seem low, but it is ridiculously hard to get a license for a big cat.

Anyway, all the game meat is donated by hunters who support the private land access program. It is served up by professional chefs, and all the meat is checked by the State Department of Agriculture to make certain it meets up with state and federal health statutes.

and where is this place? (mouth watering) hehe

It was a Wyoming Department of Game and Fish charity game dinner. They hold one every year or so to help provide funding for the Private Lands Public Wildlife Access Program.

damn

I remember there was this restaurant in san fransisco that searved lion meat...but I chose to eat an ostrich steak instead

Well, if that is indeed true, that most certainly wasn't wild lion they were serving, but rather an animal that was raised on a game farm...which in the case of most any non-herd species, is something I'm rather against, especially if the soul purpose of it is to provide exotic meats to restraunts.

I don't even imagine I'd like mountain lion, I don't like Beef (only ground beef, and hamburger patties) and I hate big animals like buffalo.

Yet here are people paying thousands

why don't they just eat chicken, chicken tastes like everything.

Have you ever been to a poultry farm, Jace?
You'd give up eating chicken for a while if you did.

well....isn't it like the same thing as cows, as well as other white meat animals...but with lions this time?

so does this make you a vegetarian?

I thought it was everything tastes like chicken.

I bet I wouldn't...of course I'm the kinda guy who likes to eat rare steak cause it's nice and bloody... *shrugs*

[kthulhu]

no how about rats or something.

No, no, no, we can't eat rats...cause, ya know, they're ugly. ^_^

Lots of people have eaten them. They breed a lot, grow very big and fat, and eat almost anything, making them an ideal food source, if you get past the filth and disease. Wild rats would probably be even better - less chance of disease.

If we absolutely had to, we would all eat spit-fired rat.

I sorta have this goal in eating animals people usually don't eat, but I do have a limit (I won't eat cats...and probably not dogs either )

Ever eaten a chicken dish at a Chinese restaurant? There's your cat.
Ever eaten the BBQ at a Korean restaurant? There's your dog.



But yeah, watch for cheap places like that.

One ould think that eating rare meat and seeing a bunch of chickens living stacked on top of each other covered in their each other feces would be two different things, Hatter.

so does this make you a vegetarian?

I hunt for most of the meat I have in my fridge, as I usually draw out for both elk and mule deer permits each year, though I'm frightfully lucky if I manage to get both during the hunting season.

We also have a local processor that I can buy whole quarters of range fed cattle from (which are not drugged as heavily as feedlot cows, and actually eat food that they can healthily digest).

I am fully aware, however that most people don't hunt because they don't know how, don't feel they have ready access to areas to hunt in, or have no desire to kill an animal themselves. My major concern, however, rests on the fact that most people are totally unaware of what is done to most livestock while it is still alive, when it is being slaughtered, and when it is being packed, shipped and processed for sale in their local grocery store. It is sort of like the movie Soylent Green,"Soylent Green is People!" Our society, as Hatter demonstrated, is too detatched and sanitized to the reality of what they eating. And while we may not be eating "people", the nature of the food should still be questioned.
