tooquicktostop Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Just talking about this with one of the chefs here as it features in several catering publications this week, Lions being farmed for consumption, seems one of the more odd food items of late http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/lion-meat628.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I like a chunk of meat but I wouldn't feel right eating certain things - Lion being one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Lions? That's soooo last year. They were feeding tigers to visitors at the tiger reserve in China a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I'll give most meats a go - Kangaroo is delicious. Alligator just tastes like mud. Didn't really like the texture of boar. Cooked animal muscles taste delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Can anyone who says they wouldn't eat lion meat explain a specific reason why, or is it just an instinctive feeling? I don't think I'd have a problem eating lion. Then again, like Ark, I probably wouldn't have a problem eating most things. I find saying things like "I would eat chicken, but eating dog is wrong", for example seems quite hypocritical. Obviously, endangered species and factors like that are good reasons, but I'm guessing the species of lions that they're referring to aren't endangered (yet?).

tooquicktostop Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 It is an interesting subject is it not, after all its just meat at the end of the day and it was reared for this purpose, I remember seeing large pieces of whale while visiting the fish markets in Tokyo and the out cry this causes across the world but a whale feeds A LOT of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Can anyone who says they wouldn't eat lion meat explain a specific reason why, or is it just an instinctive feeling? Just a personal feeling I guess - I'd eat farmed human but wouldn't choose to eat Lion for some reason, oddly I wouldn't eat a primate either which goes against the human thing to some degree.

SILKYSMOOTH Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That is the 1st time of heard of Lion Meat. I don't agree with it at all, it's not exactly cattle:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably your natural hatred for the human species, it's hard to hate other animals cos they don't generally do anything to upset us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible I suppose but then I don't hate lambs and cows etc - they taste too nice to be negative about them I do have a strong dislike of most humans though.
