My tomcat : Timoleon, brought me once a mice he had caught,obviously thinking that it : was a good treat (for me). He even ate its tail in front of me. But, I've : heard that Italians, during WWII in Greece, were eating cats. But, of : course, they have a very tough flesh, and they needed to be cooked for days. : I don't know if that's true or an urban legend. I grew up in Vicksburg, Mississippi, a river port of strategic importance in the U.S. Civil War. In 1862 Union General Grant was dispatched with a sizable force of men to capture the city. But the city's terrain made it highly defensible, and it became clear that a successful attack was virtually impossible. So Grant surrounded the city and starved it into surrender. The townspeople knew the game was up when they had eaten the last rat, all other animals having already been consumed. All this is pretty well documented, BTW. They were still publishing a newspaper (on the back of sheets of wallpaper, since they'd run out of newsprint) two days before they surrendered. Bob

It's only to cause psychotic net-stalking freaks jump through hundreds of hoops. It's entertainment! It drives them mad. Is this why it bothers you so? LOL!

Somebody told me that emu's taste just like steak......I didn't believe it then, but now that you told me this, I am not so sure anymore.....(Two references have a lot more power than just one....) |
