You should try dog if you get the chance, Elwood dog farm has a low impact factory farm where you can buy Labrador cuts and some gamier breeds if they're in stock.
i know u are saying that because u think that would be bad but there is literally nothing wrong with eating dogs, also cats are good too.
TBH, I'd expect them to be a bit gamey, especially cats.
That does sound intriguing. How does it taste?
Gamey unless reared correctly. Better to eat pet dogs as the meat generally tastes juicier. It can sometimes be unpleasant bolting them before slitting their throats after they've lived inside for so long, but knowing they lived a happy life free of predators, and didn't die of old age (try to kill before they become yearlings) makes it feel right.
I'm fine with gamey meat, lots of hunters in the family. Sounds interesting, I might try it sometime.
I mean I could but I have a nearly limitless supply of rabbits in my yard. Their fur makes great gifts. My plants love the compost I get from everything else. As a bonus the blood compost deters rabbits from eating my cabbage.
Funny thing, I can't seem to find any type of vegan certification that is concerned with the use of animal byproducts or waste in fertilizer. A few specifically say they do not check fertilizer.
Actually a lot of organic farms rely on blood and bone meal, manure and fish emulsion fertilizers. They're inexpensive as they're byproducts of other industries and are very good for plants.
When I worked in an organic greenhouse I often wondered about how vegans would feel about farmers using animal based fertilizers. We definitely told people what we used, as we sold those products, but no one ever said anything about it. I guess vegans can't control that so maybe it's a nonissue unless they grow their own food and use seaweed based fertilizer(more expensive) instead?
For a split second that website looked convincing 🙂
Would try if it was real.
You can try some in Switzerland. While you can't sell the meat, slaughtering and eating it is legal. There is farms where you can "make a donation" and they'll invite you to dinner.
Upvoting, because while I don't eat meat myself, I like people who are consistent.
If you're okay with eating a pig, don't judge those you eat a dog.
