If you don't care about the suffering of all animals, why should you care about the suffering of ANY animals?

There's a pub near me that has rabbit and bacon pie on the menu.
There was also a pub somewhere in England that started putting squirrel on the menu until enough people complained and it was eventually taken off.

As for deer. PLEASE - I'm begging all the chefs!! Someone in the US come up with a recipe that will make deer meat ultra-popular. Even better if you can make it work at a fast food outlet. The deer population around here is getting WAY out of control.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) of mule deer, whitetailed deer, elk (wapiti), and moose. TSEs are caused by unusual infectious agents known as prions. To date, CWD has been found mainly in cervids (members of the deer family). First recognized as a clinical "wasting" syndrome in 1967 in mule deer in a wildlife research facility in northern Colorado, USA, it was identified as a TSE in 1978 and has spread to a dozen states and two Canadian provinces.[1] CWD is typified by chronic weight loss leading to death. There is no known relationship between CWD and any other TSE of animals or people. Although there have been reports in the popular press of humans being affected by CWD, a study by the CDC failed to find any relationship.[2]

the condition you describe is very similar to what causes "mad cow disease" - yet people's appetite for beef is as strong as ever.
Originally posted by zeeblebotAfter deer, squirrels are the next thing that we're being overrun with. Are any of these recipes likely to catch on with the public?

Or is there some sort of prion that causes "mad squirrel disease" that we should be worrying about instead?

we're in a recession ... just put it in people's heads .... send the recipe for Squirrel Recession Pie to the local Letters to the Editor column, your squirrel pop will go down in no time ...

after deer and squirrels, the next thing on the list are the pigeons. Those Vietnamese guys should've been given a full time job eradicating them. Then we can move on to starlings...

However, we can use reason here. Examine the organism's biology and behavior and look for similarities to human biology and behavior.
