Thought I recognized the name, was it NSG? That's such a troublesome place.

Aren't you DOS'd in NS?

I'd eat Taco Cat. Just saying.

The best thing about Pets, is that a lot of them are edible.

God-Emperors are the best on a dinner plate.

I want a Savannah Cat.

You guys have been warned about threadjacking once before. If you cannot stay on topic here, do not post!
Technically, is we say that that make great food and why they do, which makes the world a better place it would be on topic. Especially since the OP does not emphasize specifically what is to be discussed nor asks a query. It just goes on about pets in general.

BAD! BAD! BAD!

Bison is very good. It makes geat burgers. Better than beef in the same price range.
I don't know why I didn't like horse meat. It tasted vaguely of liver to me. Perhaps a high iron content or something. Oddly, I like liver occasionally, if it's covered in enough mushrooms and onion compote.
Anyone else find it disturbing that our thread on pets has turned into a thread on eating pets?
We're just missing chocolate covered pets...
-
I've tasted horse meat knowingly, and it seemed pretty similar to beef anyway
I had the chance to try American Bison up in North Dakota, but couldn't find the place. All I know from those who got some from that place, was that it was expensive and delicious. Later, I forgot to ask exact directions, so I missed out. :/

Horse meat is not tasty.
Neither is pork or ham, but some people like it.

The same concept applies for Horses, Elegarth. We've humanized them. Personally, I like horses, they're smart and also have emotions. Horses are not only useful, but they're not treated like cattle. Personally, I want to eat some horse meat though. I've asked a lot of my fellow Americans in person if they'd eat horse. Many of them were as disgusted at the thought as if they were asked if they'd eat a cat or a dog.
But why? Other first world countries serve horse meat in restaurants and they have horses just like Americans do and they also treat them not like cattle. Americans don't serve horse meat and I think culturally a lot of people would be against eating a horse.

As to euthanising animals, I would imagine the charity takes everything into account before making such a decision, how much space they have at the inn; what it would cost to keep the animal; the chances that the animal will be adopted in a reasonable time etc. If after all of these thought processes have been gone through it is decided that the space taken up by one animal with little chance of being adopted in the near future would be better served by another animal with more chance of being adopted, I see no problem with the animal being euthanised.
PETA does not. PETA believes in euthanizing pets/strays full stop. Don't believe me, there are plenty of sources for this I can cite. It's not like an animal shelter that's struggling to adopt out animals and has to make the hard decisions.
This is an organization that rakes in much more cash than your local shelter or pound, that believes in the ethical treatment of animals, and ethical treatment to them is eliminating animals, putting them into bags, and tossing them in the dumpster. (For reals)

I have a cat. But we refer to her as the cats.
She is the largest cat I have ever seen. We're thinking of calling NASA and telling them we have a black hole for them to observe.
But, as my friend once said, "cats tend to do the fat."
The only reason they "tend" to is because usually they're kept inside, unlike dogs, and they don't get to go on walks and play fetch, unlike dog.
Cats need exercise too and not to be fed excessively. Albeit the exercise part is a bit harder to do than a dog. Dogs can be just as lazy as cats are stereotyped as. Activity & healthy diets lead to longer living cats, and that is part of the responsibility of the pet owners.

I thought PETA was the bunch that loved critters more than humans. I am surprised they support killing shelter animals.
Really phone? We needed to see that 4 times. Ugh. Sorry. I will clean it up tomorrow.
I get that sometimes, it is necessary to euthanize. PETA's rate of "saving" over euthanizing is like (exaggerated figures to make a point) 10/300

How does people feel about PETA instead of trying to adopt out taken in animals ending them instead?
There should be some topic here for random posting.
