Are these beavers farmed or out in the wild as an animal lover that would be my concerns. They make a food from kangaroos too but as an animal lover I could never feed it

[SWHouston]

HA yea, this just happened the other day...

Situation was, Sneakers needed just a Bortedella, and I took both with me. That's not a Vet involved procedure, so it was just a quick stop...anyway...

As I was paying out, one of the Nurse/Tech's ask if she could give my guys a treat.
I said "you can try".
So she offered, and both mine sorta sniff of stuff like that, and if they don't like it, they obstinately push it back with their noses....which is exactly what they did.
The nurse said..."I guess they're not hungry"
I said..."That's not it, you got cheep Treats"

Over in Australia, kangaroos are pretty much like deer over here. Anyone with a license can hunt them and allegedly they will overpopulate if not hunted. So to be honest, it doesn't really gross me out any more than us eating pigs or venison here in America.

I personally don't like eating pig because of the animal lover in me either. So I get where you're coming from. I personally would never choose to eat kangaroo for example, lol. But I also don't like gamey meats anyways (duck and venison - I don't like the taste).

But yeah beaver is a new one! It's probably super expensive. I guess if my dog was allergic to, like, EVERYTHING else I'd try it.

LOL That is funny, was it those hard biscut type treats?? They always try to give those treats to Peanut and I always tell them “ don’t bother he wont eat it” for some reason they will still give it to him and he will sniff it and turn his nose up at it LOL!!

Yea Im just funny about feeding anything but livestock

[lovespandp]

I think it would be interesting to see if my dog liked it, If he did I wouldn't make it an everyday thing.

Why do you eat livestock then? It is ok to eat something that is raised to eat and not something that isnt "raised to eat"..The cows and chickens are still alive and have no idea what they are in for, just like the little beaver- In the end it is still meat and it feeds humans and other living animals above the food chain.

I know this probably makes me sound awful... but I don't have an issue eating chicken, turkey, etc because I feel like they are just so... dumb. lol. Whereas a pig can be smarter than a dog and I just... it makes me feel guilty eating it. I mean over in China people eat dogs, and they raise them as livestock, but I still don't think it's right. So maybe you aren't supposed to be okay with eating one and not the other but I kind of am. I avoid anything from a pig as often as I can but am not gonna lie... I love me some bacon occasionally and turkey bacon just don't do it for me! I have started becoming more aware of where my food is coming from tho. As much as possible anyways, it's still a learning process. Because I have no issue with different kinds of meat so long as its done humanely.

Im funny about livestock too alot of our meals at home are fish shrimp and vegetarian however I do recognize livestock are born and raised to br eaten an animal in the wild isnt. Im just funny and principaled when it comes to animals. Tigers are killed for their bones and meat and medicinal purposes and we all know that is wrong and I look at it like that with other animals
