So if someone were to serve me squirrel (cooked properly, I assume), I wouldn't care. But I couldn't lure the squirrel to my windowsill with treats to kill it, skin it and cook it up.

hehehe you should come to dinner sometime ... I just got some squirrels and we are having them for dinner ... yes ma'am properly cooked

I couldn't get your link to work but I googled it and found a story of a pet horse named Snap that was killed and had parts removed but that story indicated that he had not been given away but was actually still their pet.  Sad.

I know we here in the USA find the idea of eating horse repugnant but it is quite common in other places.

Referring to your story, did it say why they crawled inside the horse or why they speculate they crawled inside?

Try as I might, I don't think they did illegal.  Still, I wouldn't want to live next door to those people, know what I mean?

My comment that the horse was a former family pet came from my contacts in local animal control.  I am pretty outraged that someone would send a family pet away with a stranger, without checking and double checking the home.  One of my horses is about the same age, I just can't imagine sending him off to such a fate.  For whatever reason, and I can't explain what it is, I feel differently about horses than I do most other animals.  I raise other animals for food, so I have eaten lots of animals I knew, and I also hunt.  While it may be just an unreasonable emotional reaction, the thought of eating a horse repulses me.

On the other hand, I would support the reopening of horse slaughterhouses in this country.  They were banned a few years ago, and the result has been that unwanted horses have been starved, neglected and abandoned, since they are expensive to maintain and there is no easy, cheap way to get rid of them.  I think humanely slaughtering them is far better than some of the cruelty cases I have seen in the last few years.

the pictures weren't all that fucking bad, she has a nice ass and the shot of her from behind covered in blood is pretty fucking hot. but they probably weren't the best fucking idea in the final analysis. what the fuck, people are fucking sick, hell we're all fucking sick.

anyway i agree that its somehow wrong, but, like the fucking deputies in the story, i can't for the life of me find an actual viable reason why it is. so i'm just going to have to put it down to sick fuckers who are sicker than me. then again they probably think the same thing about us and the shit we do.

also, as an aside, it doesn't say the horse was a pet anywhere in the story, only that it was 32, dying, and scheduled to be knackered anyway. and the sickos did that humanely, so all the "beloved pet" stuff is just fucking speculation, and misplaced as well, they sold it to somebody who put it down humanely. what the fuck more do you want out of the previous owners?

Did your contacts animal control indicate these people had any animal issues before this? Did your contacts indicate that the couple told the previous owners what they had planned?

I don't care how much of a pet lover you are, you aren't entitled to private information from people to adopt a pet. You get what the people tell you, you take what they say and listen to it. You check references (which are easily faked).

For Christ's sake, I don't care how much you love horses, dogs, cats or whatever, it is an animal. As someone who talked about how PETA looking for "human" rights for a whale was inappropriate, you are a bit contradictory in your expectations of animal adoption.

Can't say as I've ever made deep fried squirrel with cheese ...  but I have pan fried it, broiled it, boiled it, baked it too
Bar B Q'ed it up and had it in a stew

hehehe

Tonight's offering has the finest fat WVian squirrel marinated over night in a special secret blend of herbs and spices.  Baked over a roasting pan of brown rice with chestnuts and onions from my yard.  Garden salad, pickled beets, some chunky apple stuff I make, it's kind of like pie filling but not as sweet and paw paws.  I'm having some homemade ginger ale but we also have some home brew and some blackberry wine. 

Thank you ever so much for the flattery.

My expectation of pet owners are high, however.  You simply don't send an animal into a home that you have not thoroughly checked out.  To do otherwise is completely irresponsible.  The fact is, the family that gave these people this horse were trying to get it off their hands, rather than deal with it humanely and as it deserved.  Fuck them.  I have bred dogs, for example, over the years, and I would not dream of placing a puppy in a home where I did not have a contract requiring the dog be returned to me, rather than being placed somewhere without my approval, I require and check references, do home checks, and I will take back anything I have bred for as long as he or she  lives.   I most certainly am entitled to people's private information if I am entrusting an animal to them.  Anything less is completely irresponsible.  The people who gave these losers that poor horse were assholes. 

By the way, I have never written a post that talked about "human" rights for whales.  The issue was legal rights.  Two different things.  While I don't believe in so called "animal rights" I do believe in the humane, respectful and caring treatment of animals.
