I suspect that eating Cat is probably a LOT of work. Such a small animal hasn’t very much meat, and after gutting and skinning it, you are probably left with mostly bone and gristle. It seems hardly worth it-unless you are starving. that is why I’m always amused about reports (of Chinese restaurants using cats, pigeons, etc., as a meat source). For the huge amount of work, it just isn’t worth it.
Well, in the case of the Bozo, we’re talking about people who live in mud huts and make an average of probably $30 a year. When the river dries up, there are few options.
No, not true!
Some superstitious people may believe that eating tiger ‘parts’ will improve their lagging virility, or will make them immune to poisonous snakebites, or have other medicinal effects, but this is all foolishness, none of these have ever been shown to have any medical effect.
This board is about fighting ignorance, not spreading it.
I don’t think T_SQUARE implied that there is any real effect, just that some people eat them believing that that do.
