I’m not claiming anything; I’m repeating what others claim. But I’m not sure what you’re asserting…

Are you being sarcastic and indicating that packing plants and truckers are increasing the adrenalin levels?

Or if they’re not increasing adrenaline levels, then it’s much inline with that the claimants claim.

I grew up on venison. It tastes good regardless of whether the deer was running or standing, but the deer’s food type does matter.  
For this discussion about using venison as a major food source, it might be important to know that some states prohibit the sale of meat from local wild game species in order to not create a market for poachers.

I’m questioning why a bull all worked up by a bullfight would be " extra tasty".
