Why is rat meat such a big scandal?

bear grylls! Never heard of rat meat scandal is that in US? UK had the horse meat scandal


Which shouldn't have been a scandal whatsoever. Horse meat is better then cow meat, so they were getting a freebie. Rat meat scandal was in China not the U.S.

How not to be a rat farmer

Since rats are smaller, does it require less amount of feeding to gain meat from them? I know that for every 1 pound of beef you need 6 pounds of grains, and cow are much bigger so alot more grains go to their daily energy requirments. Chickens are 1.8 pounds of grains per 1 pound and Salmon is 1 pound per 1 pound, but it is much more expensive in other areas to farm raise Salmon and fish in general.

Rats are probably 1 to 1.5 pounds of grains for 1 pound of meat(spread out over a farm). And since they breed fast compared to cattle, you can have a very large farm fast.
 
On Rat:
My time is worth more than screwing around with some tiny little critters bones, etc... Hamburger, pork chop, steak, roast beef and of course LAMB. I don't eat quail, sunfish, pigeon or any other critter where it takes 20 minutes to get a mouthful. I could eat 3 hamburgers and 2 hot dogs in that time.

On Lamb: THE BEST. Mmm. Lamb Chop, Mmm. I bought 1/2 of a lamb from a co-worker who had to sell one of his lambs because it was his daughter's favorite pet and while it was still going to be slaughtered, he had to make sure that no one in his family ate "Annie". Mmm.... Annie was REALLY good. First time I ever had lamb. I could go on & on about lamb. Those wolves have the right idea, too.

On alligator:
I want to try it.

On killing Rats. The mechanical traps will kill rats because they have weight/mass and will shove the bait around until the trap WHACKS them. I had rats in my apartment because the people next door were filthy people from country "X". They chewed a whole through the drywall and into my pantry and would eat the ramen noodles, LOUDLY. I'd wake up in the middle of the night, get a flashlight to see what was making all the racket and there would be 2 sets of beady eyes looking at me. Filthy creatures. You could smell they had been in the house. That whole Grimms Fairy Tale thing "I smell a RAT" was dead on because they fucking stink. The wall was grey around the whole they dug because their paws were so filthy.

I set traps baited with peanut butter in the pantry and the ignored them and ate my Ramen Noodles instead, so on the 3rd night I drilled a hole through the trap and screwed it into the wall just below the hole, so the peanut butter bait would be RIGHT THERE when the rat stuck it's head through the hole. Woke up that night about 2:00 a.m. to this tremendous WHACK! sound, and then a lot of spastic moving around noises for a while, until they died off. I went back to sleep with a big fucking grin on my face.

Next morning I check the trap and the metal bar had come down right center on the rat's skull with a force so explosive that it caused the rat's eyes to burst out of it's skull. They were hanging off it's skull by some kind of tissue about one inch away from the rat's head. One of the most satisfying images I've ever seen. Dead fucking Ramen Noodle eating filthy fucking rat with it's skull crushed and it's eyes popped out.

The trap killed it's brother the next night, but in a much less gruesome and satisfying way.

We have a cabin in the woods, and while repairs are ongoing, there are still crevices, etc... for the local mice to get in through. Those little fuckers will eat every bit of the peanut butter + mashed-up bread bait you put on the traps. We baited about 10 traps and came back a few months later and all of them were unsnapped, and had been picked clean of peanut butter. However, the clue traps had a few mummified mice, and ALL of the D-Con poison had been eaten. There was no evidence of any live mice in the cabin. I think we killed them all off.

Unfortunately, the grey cat from down the street didn't visit us like he always does, and we're worried that a poisoned mouise might have also poisoned our favorite local cat, so the poison option may not be all that great. However, if it comes right down to it, I'll risk the neighborhood cats in order to completely eradicate the mice & rat population. It's part of the fun of my vacation. I have more fun than Dr. Mengle had with Zyclon B.

On "animal lovers" aka animal hoarders. Sick, degenerate animals that should be locked up forever. They have an affinity for animals because they ARE animals and I have no sympathy at all for them. I see these "hoarder" shows and find these people revolting. It offends me deeply that in a democratic society they have as much power I as do. That is fundamentally wrong, and, as a side note, the more experience I receive as a result of these "reality shows" showing just how sick and disgusting some people are, the more of a hard-core and unrepentant fascist I become. Some people are just too stupid, sick, filthy, disgusting to be allowed to have any power at all, particularly over me. The only real question is whether they should be sterilized, warehoused and plugged into the the TV for the rest of their lives, or euthanized outright as an act of kindness both to themselves and the rest of humanity.
