My kitties and I don't even want to think about it.

Isn't it illegal to eat dog in The United States?

Or is that an urban myth?

edited to add: Never mind, I looked it up. It's considered socially taboo in The States but it's not illegal at all. They DO occasionally eat dog in Alaska, but it's uncommon. Some dude regularily killed, cooked and ate his sled dogs when they became too tired or run down to pull his sled any longer. Seems like a poor way of paying them back, but I suppose it's not wasteful.


Virtually no one eats wolf. Not in any country. People will resort to it when they're starving but they say it doesn't do much for a person. No nutrients or something.
It has been reported to taste like chicken, but that's what people say about iguana, too.

And just as an aside, when they aerially hunt wolves, they don't shoot them from the air - they chase them with low flying planes until they pass out from exhaustion and then they land the plane and walk up to them and kill them where they lay.

Nice, huh?

That's even less sporting than trying to hit them with a bullet from a moving vehicle.
