Oh, and when one has a problem of deer overpopulation, just hire a professional, skilled, made-for-it hunter: THE WOLF.

And I'm not exactly joking here.


That was where I was going next.

Yeah the problem with the wolf is that mothers get upset when one wonders into the yard and mauls her child.

I am ok with the hunting of humans. After all, talk about over population!
One day when I own an island I'll have a reef to crash ships and hunt the people stranded, "The Most Dangerous Game" style!

Now that'd be a thrill

Yeah, but, well, you know the problems with mothers (and fathers! No one ever thinks about fathers mourning the loss of said children) : they always want to raise their offspring far from the Town, its pollution and its malicious influence, and they don't stop asking for living in the Big Nature, close to the nearest forest... AND THEN THEY MEET THE BEAR.

Anyway, in France and in Italy, the sole victims of the wolves are sheeps, not humans.
I guess that either the sheep are easier to hunt, or their meat has a better taste than human flesh.

The current estimate is that there are currently 20 wolves in the whole of France.
 
I have no idea how many sheep French farmers own - lets make a conservative estimate and say lots. Lots more than 20.
What?

Maybe we should eat carnivore predators? Tiger penis, anyone?

There are good reasons why we don't eat carnivores, one of which is the high concentrations of Vitiamin A, which is toxic in high doses.

...another reason is the high levels of amines in their flesh which makes them taste unpleasant and the lack of fat which makes them tough and chewy. Of course you can get use to that. However, we do eat some carnivores (mainly fish, some reptiles and dogs and you can buy bear and other "exotic" meats), but even wild carnivores refrain from eating other carnivores even though they will kill each other.

Are people really suggesting that we ignore thousands of years of evolutionary history when choosing our diets? Carnivores are also much more difficult and expensive to farm to add to the list of reason.

No! Tiger dicks and the consumption thereof are both issues of grave importance.

That reminded me of an episode of Fear Factor where one of the challenges was to eat various cooked animal penises.  Mmmm.

^ Carnivores are likely to be organic, I guess if they're not poached they'll be Fair Trade too. Wink

Since I am a vegetarian it would not would not work for me but I don't care what other people eat or think about eating habits. Purely subjective decisions.
