This is just me, but I was raised that as long as you use as much of the animal as possible, and appreciate the life it gave to nourish you, it's okay. Even better if it had a good life before it died - as (we hope) a wild animal would, unlike a factory-raised chicken, for example. That's a bit spiritual, a bit practical, and a bit less sympathetic to the cute and cuddly ones, but it's how I was brought up. I was raised on a ranch, and our animals were all free-range, or close to it. I also hunted. I can raise 'em, kill 'em, skin 'em, butcher 'em, and eat 'em. I leave the cooking to my houseboy. Be well. Lady Seraphina
