Would you eat meat from a 7-legged deer?

Oh, yes, with male AND female sex organs?

Found this story about a guy who hit this real freaky deer with his truck, and then ate it (the deer, not the truck).

There’s no way on earth I would eat any of tha animal. I’d be worried about some weird toxins/chemicals or just bad mojo.

Hmmm…the X-Men have a mascot.

Had a mascot, sorry.

Mascots…them’s good eatin’! :smiley:

If this is real why the fuck didn’t they include the pictures with the story? :dubious:

For real. Few things piss me off as much as a really far-out news article, like this, with no picture. I really wish they’d have included one.

In general, is meat from “mutant” animals also different in way? I’d be surprised if there’s no stats on this somehow.

What “toxins” can cause a deer to grow 3 extra legs? It must have been born that way, caused by a mutation in the previous generation. So avoid eating the deer’s parents, but there’s nothing necessarily wrong food-wise with the 7-legged deer itself.

He did hit and kill the deer with his truck. Most newspapers won’t post pics of bloody, mangled road-kill. Thank Og!

No fuckin’ clue, but I don’t want any of it in me. Even if Bambi+3’s mother drank it, it could have passed through the umbilical cord and still be in the fawn’s body.

Ok, (lame) picture from another story.

At first I thought it was going to be a female parasitic twin attached to the male, but I think all conjoined twins are genetically identical. But those little protofeet just look like your standard, run of the mill extra limb mutation.

There are more pictures linked at the bottom of the article.
You guys realize what happened, right. A doe and a buck run in front of the truck, and a doe/buck emerges? They were smooshed! Jeez.

Judging by the pic linked to above, I think this particular chap no longer needs to worry about effects such as e.g. becoming a crazy hairy mountain man.

**Would you eat meat from a 7-legged deer? **
Sure… if only I could catch it!

Nope. I don’t like venison.

Humph. I’d hardly call those 3 extra legs. Stupid inaccurate sensationalist journalism.

After looking at the pictures - color me unimpressed.

But we’re seeing the AFTER picture. For all we know, BEFORE he could have looked like this. Or maybe like this, since there were apparently some sex change thing involved as well.

I immediately thought of “The Colour Out of Space”.

I didn’t post this, because there was only a 2 inch picture of one leg with a with the protrussion of a small leg sticking out. The local paper had a larger version of the same picture. You still see almost nothing. The leg pictured has maybe a 3 inch end of a leg sticking out from the relative normal leg. The guy is an idiot. Let me explain.
In Wisconsin the deer from an acident can be claimed by the driver of the vehicle. The cop comes out for the accident and calls the DNR out if you want it. They give you a tag permit and you take it home. The man now owns this deer. Does he have it mounted and sold to a collector. Presever the bones and hide for science. No he cuts it up and eats it. He would have made a ton selling the stuffed deer. Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!

I read that story and was trying not to barf. Mutations wig me out.

I’d be more worried about it being roadkill than being 7-legged. If someone shot a 7-legged deer, I’d have no worries about eating the meat. But I would wonder where that eighth leg was. (I once saw the carcass of an 8-legged fawn).

I once ate the meat of a 3-legged heifer on the farm where I grew up. Of course, that missing leg was due to a calfhood injury. Her name was Three At Last. Named by me, of course.
