I cooked Ostrich for the first time a few weeks ago. Terrible mistake. It had a bad aftertaste and stunk up the house.

Have never eaten Caribou...interested....

Very tender... not so "gamey" as venison IMO. The blueberry sauce was interesting. Not something I'd try every day, but it was good.

So is it more like elk than venison?

And as far as ostrich, the closest I've had is emu and it was like bland shoe leather.

I had ostrich burgers once (at a roadside place in San Simeon, California - choice between that and McD's was obvious) and liked them quite a bit. Never eaten caribou, though I wouldn't say no if it was served to me by someone who knows what they're doing.

No matter how I feel personally about my dogs- I love them and I know they are infatuated with me- animals must be treated as private property so long as the law is concerned. As outrageous as wanton animal cruelty is, laws banning it are based on our own disapproval, not any coherent theory or "animal rights". As evidenced by the fact that the "rights" in question go out the window whenever there is a legitimate human need or desire, such as food, medical research, clothing, or even cosmetics. And that's they way it should be.

We don't have rights because we feel, we have them because we can think and are capable of recognizing that other individuals have rights. Except, apparently, animal rights activists.

Animal rights activists are a big reason green party types get ignored. They tend to be wackjobs who had the world handed to them by rich capitalist daddie's and this s their revenge. They become useless vegetarians.

To be fair, there are plenty of activists out there who advance coherent theories of animal equality.

Unfortunately for their ideas, however, most are just hardcore utilitarians, and so they have a hard time describing why anyone should get rights.

That's a waterboarding.

Seriously. These people are terrorists by any definition you care to use, and worse, they are incompetent terrorists. They should be prevented from breeding or passing their kknowledge or beliefs on to a new generation.

Perhaps they could be used for medical experiments, since they object to using animals?

wildcat daisy: They are always hurting their own cause more than helping it.


It's hard not to hurt your own cause when you are basically an idiot.

I know this story was about sending bio-harards through the mail but I do have a legal question, if there is a legal expert on Fark.

Can you tell me how it is that the animal rights activists get things into the courts. They don't raise animals, they don't eat animals so where is their standing? If I want to stop the local school district teaching Pythagoras' Theorem, I would need to have a student in the school. Roe vs. Wade required a pregnant woman who had been denied an abortion in order to bring the case to court. So whence cometh the standing of the animal rights activist?

In this case, it's blackmail. Lock them up.

I don't think any idea that animals are somehow equal to us is coherent.

The idea that animals are inherently more tasty than us though, has yet to be confirmed through thorough taste tests.

Some tests are necessary (I guess) but on the other side I know of tests that are duplicated on the same types of animals with the same results year after year. I know some people who work in the ANU in Canberra who do the actual animal tests - one aspect of their work involves repeating tests that they've done months and months ago (you're not suppose to duplicate proven tests because that's just being cruel) - but they do. When I asked them why they just say it pays the bills. Alas they have to become detached from their actions - how else can you do this sort of thing.

Anyone who accuses anyone else of being a pedo just to beat the person down ought to be horsewhipped. Scientologists have been known to do that to their critics, too. It's the one crime in our society where you are taken as guilty until proven innocent.

Damn you, cultists of all stripes.

Such taste tests have been preformed, and the results varied person to person.

Some wackjobs from that group started harassing people at a company I worked at, they used Huntingdon in the past.
They just did web searches for e-mail addresses at the company, and then random office workers ended up with "You're a puppy killer!" e-mails, along with some threats.

Human flesh is very close to pork. So if you're a big fan of pork versus other meats, humans would probably be tastier to you than most other animals.

actually, i think the bigger deal is made of these things, the more it helps their case. Don't call them terrorists, because that legitimizes them. Just send them to prison every time they commit crimes, right? Maybe watch these animal rights groups a little more closely (that's the law enforcement end of it), and prosecute them whenever they break the law.

Also, this is an animal:

This is NOT a troll and I know it sounds dickish but we humans control the breeding of both dogs and ourselves. We bring dogs into the world and we SHOULD care for them properly, especially given the special relationship between our species.

And if your region of the world is a squalid hellhole of starvation and disease, stop breeding. Nature is saying "no more here, please. All full up."

Fragile yes, but in the right conditions, HIV can survive a while. Needles are a good place for it to hang around.

Viability of HIV-1 in syringes: implications for interventions among injection drug users. (new window)

We have determined that the duration of survival of HIV-1 in syringes typically used by injectors of illicit drugs can exceed 6 weeks. The percentage of syringes with viable virus varied with the volume of blood remaining in the syringes and the temperature at which syringes were stored. These experiments underscore the need for needle exchange programs and other HIV prevention interventions that promote the availability of clean syringes and the removal of potentially infectious ones from circulation.

Honestly, I'm kinda OK with the idea of killing children under say a year old. They are much less intelligent then chimps a that age.
