Are you SURE that was hamburger you ate at the July 4th BBQ?

Oh My!

That's despicable! Roasting pot-bellied pigs and shetland ponies???

I have this intense need to go home and hug my cat.

[Syntropy]

Ivylass, how do you FIND these things???? That's horrid.

He could be jailed for up to two years if the other animals cannot be traced.

That seems a tad unfair. If they can't find him, he must have eaten them? Weird planet, this.

Innocent until proven hungry.

His only crime was being born delicious...

...a small buffalo, rabbits, donkeys, goats, racoons, parrots, a wild boar and even three Shetland ponies.

Mmmmmm....tasty!

Maybe I'm off-base, but...

If he owns the zoo, and therefore owns the animals, what's the problem? Is it illegal to eat a pig? A buffalo? A rabbit? I myself have eaten all of these, after purchasing them and therefore gaining ownership of them. How is this any different?

I admit I've never eaten parrot or Shetland pony, but I'm curious: are there laws restricting what animals you can and can't eat, provided they are your property?

I'm sure I'll be straightened out, but the line, "Schlechte has already been fined £1,500 after admitting eating the pigs," really struck me as odd. There's a fine for eating a pig? What the hell?
