I eat the animals I euthanize. Had some great deer burgers today for lunch.

Not if you’re vegan/tarian... other than that I’d say it’s probably ok

I expect so - Man’s been eating “humanely” killed animals for a long long time

I thought it was recommended not to eat animals that had been euthanized by drugs or gas?

The WRC did not dispatch the elk by shooting it

Can I have the antlers????

 

[wturkey01]

Either a bullet between the eyes or Buck knife to the throat. Why let it lay there and suffer while they summon a vet out there to give it a shot???
