  • ScottMcIntyre, on 10/09/2008, -0/+8A quite sickly account of a festival where cats get served up. I wonder if they get cooked in the kitty-chen (groan!). Joking aside, it's quite shocking.

    QFA:"In Britain, we have an unusually proscriptive view of acceptable sources of meat – obviously cats and dogs and, in more recent times, rabbits and horses, are too friendly to be food. But it's not just cute, cuddly animals we avoid: few British people would want to tuck into snake, insects or rodents – all of which are eaten with great relish in other parts of the world."

    I definitely don't want to eat a rodent, though.

  • MacBookForMe, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2We had our horses, cows, sheep, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and many more domestic animals on the farm + loads of game in the forests...however, cats and hunting dogs had their own protected special places in our household:)
