Consuming Carnivores
People, including myself, seem to be a bit naturally squeamish about eating fellow carnivores. While I understand that tuna and other fish are carnivorous they eat other fish, which isn't quite the same. I'm talking about eating alligators, bears, dogs, lions (which I've seen offered). Does anyone know of any science out there and that discusses the problem with eating within ones own station of the food chain? Or does anyone know of anyone who particularly enjoys eating such creatures?
Thanks!

They're much less efficient to farm.

On a recent trip to Vietnam, my parents were served "free range dog."
So, that's free range as opposed to a farmed dog? In other words, a dog that's been running around? Which is what most dogs do?

Isn't a free range dog essentially a wolf? Aren't dogs just domesticated wolves?

Mmm, pig.
Pigs are omnivores, not herbivores. Just like human beings.
