Oh, you're right...I don't eat rodents like squirrels, mice, rats,
prairie dogs, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs, or hamsters. Or rabbits.

Now, if you are hunting armed only with a camera and you get real close
to wild animals who can rip off and eat your face, then...you are a
brave hunter and sportsman/woman.


Aren't you the guy who was telling us about shooting stray dogs in the
woods?

Harry/s afraid of dogs. He prefers the company of Kitties.


I will shoot a feral cat. It is not because i am afraid of them, only
that they cause a lot of damage to the environment. Far more than a
stray dog.

I'm sure any conservative or orthodox rabbi in your neighborhood could
explain Kashrut to you. My understanding of it is many decades old, and
attained through proximity.

Groundhogs are good bbq don't know about the rats and palmetto bugs. never had them. are they good?


I am not sure the American Cockroach is kosher, Leviticus is silent on
the issue but you can eat grasshoppers and still keep kosher.

All I used as a kid was shorts. Couldn't afford anything else. I see you were very
courageous (in Harry's terms) also. I'll bet you ate all the critters you shot, too.
Well,l maybe not the raccoons. We sold the 'coon skins for a buck-fifty, which was
enough to buy three more boxes of .22 shorts.

I ate a raccoon leg at a fish fry once. It wasn't bad. The guy put it
in a smoker overnight and served it with an apple in it's mouth.
It tasted like just about everything you smoke

Why would I feel like a "brave, great white hunter" shooting targets and
sodapop bottles?

Oh, competitive target/range shooting is a sport. Killing a dumb animal
is not.


So why do you need to bring up "brave" in the first place? How brave
are you walking around in the woods packing heat in case you might run
into a petulant pomeranian?

We have hiked all over the west where you see rattlesnakes, wolves and
bears. I never felt the need to pack and I was never really scared.

There are black bears and cougars (AKA Florida Panthers) within
walking distance of my house. I am not scared at all when I mow the
lawn

You're not Harry Krause, else you would be scared. Simple.

They will tell you chicken turkey and duck are kosher species of meat.
They will not say chicken is not meat.

Of course you would only say the ducks and turkeys were "kosher" if
someone else killed them for you and that they came from a factory
farm.
Food taken from the wild is not brave enough for you.
Courage comes in a foam tray.

Why do you think your experience or lack of it with bears and cougars is
relevant to the packs of feral dogs that were and maybe still are active
around some of the trails above the Shenandoah River?

My use of the term "brave white hunter" is sarcastic and literary, by
the way. In case you don't get it. Which, apparently, you don't.

*I* wouldn't be making judgments on the killing of poultry, since
"kosher" is something of only peripheral and formerly proximity interest
to me, but, yes, I am aware of the fact that Jews who "keep kosher"
would want their poultry slaughtered according to the rules of Kashrut.

And, once again, I don't eat rodents.

There was and perhaps still is an allegedly decent restaurant in Kansas
City where deer, moose, bison, and a bunch of others are served up.
Never went there...wasn't much of a beef eater then and am not much of
one now. I did taste deer once, and thought it tasted like...beef, sort of.

Not a big barbecue fan, either, at least not for barbecue drowning in
spicy sauce. What's the point, when all you can really taste is the sauce?

Sounds like an irrational fear to me mr braveheart.

No I do not understand why you need to **** on everyone who doesn't
think exactly like you about things.
It is not like you are standing on the moral high ground of a vegan or
even someone with credible environmental credentials.
