nandorman's Journal: Good Meat

I was listening to NPR today, and someone on there was crying about the horse meat industry in the US. Not that we are allowed to eat horse meat here, but we do ship it off to other countries. Not only is is stupid not to eat old horses that are essentially going to be euthanized anyway, but it's stupid that we don't eat certain animals because we are "friends" with them.

Speaking of which, here is my partial solution to the world's food problem. There are 3-4 million dogs and cats euthanized each year in the United States alone. Why is all that food going to waste, when it would probably cost less than a million dollars to ship them all over to Africa? In addition, they could breed some of them until they had some self-sustaining supplies.

What, they're too cuddly? Give me a break - they can be perfectly good food.

Yuck

Just yuck.

Yuck for you

It may be yuck for you, but you aren't starving. And these are dogs and cats that would be killed anyway. I'm not suggesting we let people eat YOUR pets - just the unwanted ones, which I'm sure taste great. Everyone knows that wanted pets taste horrible!
