Tuscan delicacy

If there's one thing I've learned from blogging: never speak positively about eating cats.

Live and learn.

I thought we didn't eat cats because they are carnivores. The only carnivore I've ever eaten is alligator, but that's a reptile.

This makes me wonder about the "Parasite" episode of Radiolab, in which they discuss a particular parasite (Toxoplasma gondii) that might control human behavior. (Here's a quick link to an article discussing the same thing: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/DyeHard/story?id=2288095&page=1 )

Personally, if my cats don't stop fighting each other in the middle of the night, well, there's a river right across the road...

Salmon are carnivorous. It's a huge reason why farming them is a losing proposition in the long run.

'Course if you don't eat fish, this little FYO wouldn't change your original statement at all.

No, we don't cats because of an arbitrary sentimentalism. Carnivores are hunted as game animals: seals, bears, even pumas. But at propaddict hints, they aren't convenient subjects for animal agriculture.
