| Feb 23, 2018 at 21:47 | comment | added | JAB | @WillemvanRumpt The term is "gam(e)y", if I understand you correctly. | |

| Apr 8, 2015 at 16:12 | comment | added | Willem van Rumpt | @Stephie: Regarding hare vs. rabbit, apart from the economical reasons, you would've noticed instantly if it was a rabbit or hare, just by the difference of the meat color and taste. Hare is much more "venisony" (for lack of a better word, muscular? metallic?). Whether the same goes for cat and rabbit, I do not, nor desire to know (or do I?) ;) | |
| Apr 8, 2015 at 11:54 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | ... which is why even people happy in principle to eat horse meat were concerned about the "horse meat as beef" scandal in the UK a couple of years ago. It's not just that it's horse, it's that meat of unknown origin was in the supply chain at all. Since it wasn't off a cow as claimed, it quite possibly also wasn't off a horse fit for eating. The same concern would arise if country of origin was misreported, even if both countries' meat is safe when the supply chain is properly established per those countries' rules. | |
| Apr 8, 2015 at 11:43 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | Indeed, if meat A is sold as meat B, then the chain of custody is completely screwed regardless of what A and B are, and regardless of whether A is normally safe. If it's not the kind of meat it claims to be, then any safeguards have failed, they should have caught that. If you're buying your meat direct from the poacher, then you don't expect any safeguards, so a confusion over species doesn't create this concern. If you're buying it from a retail butcher you expect some rules to have been followed, and if it's the wrong species you know for sure some of them haven't. | |
| Apr 8, 2015 at 10:25 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | @JonathonWisnoski: But there are risks beyond bad food or illleagal medication - think of parasites that should be caught by inspecting the meat. Trichinella or beef tapeworm come to mind... | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | Jonathon | @Stephie Yes and no. The problem specifically with pets is that people will pay loads of money to inject them with highly toxic medication that make then inedible for years and years afterwards. Other animals you just have the concern of cheap toxic feed. And really if you are getting the bottom of the barrel stuff from the US, China, or some other location with questionable business practices you really cannot get much worse than the stuff they regularly feed them above board without the animals themselves dying or growing poorly anyways. So it is a sub-concern in my mind. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 15:20 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | @JonathonWisnoski: And so may be any meat from dubious sources... There is a reason most countries have strict rules about raising, slaughtering and processing meat for human consumption. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 14:14 | comment | added | Jonathon | Note the some of the medication that cats may be given is far from food grade. There is every reason to believe that eating cats, from sources unknown, is dangerous for your health. | |

New characteristics, prompted by aitchnyu.

| Apr 6, 2015 at 14:20 | comment | added | Jesvin Jose | because my source is a fuzzy memory of a fictional doctor? :D | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 14:07 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | @aitchnyu: Why not make this into an answer? | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 14:04 | comment | added | Jesvin Jose | Ctrl+F Pappillon, was disappointed, joined to make this comment. Joe*'s friend killed his beloved cat and gave it to Joe, passing it off as rabbit. Joe served it to a doctor who complimented him on the "fine cat". According to the doctor rabbits have flat ribs, cats have round ones. So Joe murdered his friend, and thus met the protagonist. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 11:39 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | And as a side note: It is highly unlikely that the shipment of "rabbits" was actually hare - due to economic reasons. You can breed rabbits and cats are relatively easy to come by, at least in some regions of the world. Hares, on the other hand would be hunted. | |
