Thats a unique pet:P

[mistersprinkles]

It's the kind of prawn you can buy in a big bag frozen at most asian supermarkets. They're a major food prawn. My family always eats a bunch of them at Christmas. I got teased. "We're eating your pet. Hahaha"

[mistersprinkles]

Nobody ate this one. She's in an aquarium. They're eaten a lot. Giant freshwater rays eat them a lot. People eat them a lot.. They mostly just eat plants and the odd baby fish.

[stephanbakir]

Every non cat/dog that has died from natural causes in this house gets eaten by something or another =/

I had two marked giant shrimp graves in my back yard before I moved. Shouldn't eat pets man.. it's weird..

[stephanbakir]

If i dont eat em, another pet does or they get used as bait lol (unless they died cuz they were sick)

[mistersprinkles]

That's why we all love Quebec...

[stephanbakir]

Quebec is a unique place lol, i cant wait to move out of it lol

Just stop eating your pets out there... Seriously. I've heard this before. Eating pets = bad. We appreciate the french fries with the cheese and gravy but the eating pets has to go.

[stephanbakir]

Pet bunnies... they are tasty as hell.

[mistersprinkles]

Pet bunnies... they are tasty as hell.

That's messed up ok? :no: Why would you think that was funny :nerd:?

[stephanbakir]

It isnt funny, its life:confused:

[molson101]

Why is that so bad uguys I dont do it but how do you know it doesnt taste good. Dont question other peoples lives.

[Damion930]

Rabbits are purdy tasty and I ate cat at a chinese food restaurant once it was good. Didn't know it was cat till later but it was good. Each ther own what's a pet to someone else is food to another I don't see the issue.

I dont mind they aren't calling names and are just giving their opinions, nothing wrong with that.

I spent a few weeks camping in costa rica and ate allot of cool things i would have never been exposed to. I can honestly say that out of everything i tried, only 2 things didn't sit right, sea cucumber and this one really odd looking bird that actually flew into the rock i had thrown at some fruit in a tree.
I'd advise anyone to try something out before forming an opinion and taking it to the grave.

[Lankyrob]

I agree - dont knock it til you try it! Personally wouldnt want to eat any animal that has died of "natural causes" - i want my dead animal to be killed in its prime so the meat is nice and fresh and tasty!! ;)

[stephanbakir]

Nothing in this house "dies of natural causes" all my herps that i had as a kid died when i turned 17 during a 30 hour power loss during an ice storm, everything else is still with me now, the snakes and lizards/alligators/crocs i've eaten have all been wild I used to breed crayfish and ate those all the time. I'm not talking about eating your pets specifically, more to trying something out before you say no, whenever you visit other countries your bound to find new food and if you keep moving and wait for a burger the only person your cheating is yourself. Just try it and if you dont like it say no.

[mistersprinkles]

I don't know about that. I have never eaten a snail, nor will I ever eat a snail unless I am without any food and desperate.

I don't deny that it may be delicious. It is very possible. Nothing can change the fact, however, that a snail is essentially some muscle and an organ sack wrapped in mucus. Literally. I don't want to eat mucus. I don't care if it's the best tasting mucus known to man. I don't want it.

[Damion930]

I ate at that chinese restaurant almost every day. It was next to my friends shop and they had the most amazing chicken on a stick. I always wonders wher on a chicken would they get such a piece of meat ate and enjoyed. Well one day they got shut down I was bummed then found out they had got caught serving cat lol my question was answered.

If i didn't LOVE snail that statement might have been enough to make trying it difficult:P I'm gona copy that and save it for a rainy day:P

[Lankyrob]

We had sweet and sour snail and frog legs in a chinese restaurant in Paris, both just taste like chicken :rolleyes:

[mistersprinkles]

I'm sure they taste ok. Again though, ball of snot. Not for me.
Snails are pretty smart, too, believe it or not.

I had an apple snail (pomacea canaliculata) years ago in an aquarium. If I tapped the top of the tank he'd come to the surface and hold his foot out like a hand for me to give him a food pellet.

[mykee]

"That's why we all love Quebec... "
Lol... who's "we"?

[belovedboas]

Rabbit is actually pretty good haha only tried it once but it wasn`t bad:)

[mistersprinkles]

Lol... who's "we"?

Nobody likes Quebec it was a joke. :yes:

[stephanbakir]

Hes right lol, 80% of the people in quebec cant wait to get out. I plan on getting out soon.

[mistersprinkles]

I was actually told by an internet friend who's brother is highway patrol in New York state that they purposely pull over every single car they see with Quebec plates because "Quebecers have an attitude problem" and they don't want them in the state. :yes::yes:

Not you, of course. You're cool. Stop eating your pets.

[stephanbakir]

cant wait to for the fishing season to start!

[NennaMeerkat]

I dunno anything about Quebec but I grew up in the Southern US and we often caught, raised, and ate various animals. Squirrels, rabbits, opossum, raccoon, quail, pheasant...even found a young deer and managed to keep it alive to eat several months later. If I ever have pet ducks or chickens and can find someone to clean them I would not be opposed to eating them. I have also eaten wild caught snakes before. Its just a more "country" way of life to eat what you find and raise what you eat.

[stephanbakir]

I have never eaten snakes that were captive.
But i did eat them while backpacking in costa rica (2 weeks of catching my own food)
You toss them on the fire (just bones and muscle) and they squirm for a good 45 seconds

[infernalis]

trying something out before you say no, whenever you visit other countries your bound to find new food and if you keep moving and wait for a burger the only person your cheating is yourself. Just try it and if you dont like it say no.

When I was in Brasil I didn't hardly know how to read the menu, so I pointed at the picture that looked good, and just ate it.

No regrets whatsoever, If the people around me were consuming it, then it was worth a try.

Goat kabobs with fruits and veggies I cannot even pronounce were a favourite.

The "fish" was lemon shark, the chickens were still clucking in cages at the grocery store, and those big slabs of beef rotating under a big IR lamp were all very delicious.

[NennaMeerkat]

You know something I wanna try...Guinea Pig. Its supposed to be delicious. Wherever they are found normally people will let them run around in their homes and such. When they want to eat one they just snatch them off the floor and cook them up. Talk about eating your "pet".

[infernalis]

I hope I don't offend anyone, but we had a Guinea pig once, and after a few months of that squee squee chirp chirp, all I wanted to do was eat it so it would shut up.

Have to agree with you infernalis they are probably the most annoying of all the rodents. Bet it would have been delicious.

[stephanbakir]

Best food I've ever eaten was Coconut crab, its like a giant crab alien and 1-2 fill you up. Easiest thing in the world to catch as well, assuming you have a method to quickly kill them

[mistersprinkles]

Like a rock.

[stephanbakir]

Tried that, used a softball sized rock, it cracked/dented the shell and it ran up a tree.
Gota stab them in the face(mouth opening) or on a seam in their shell.
Or you can go really crazy and start ripping arms off:P

That wouldn't kill them it's just torture.

Infernalis- if you think a guinea pig is annoying, you should try having a parrot and not getting up to feed it at 7am, as per it's demands.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

then as it becomes more impatient, it comes in to your room and steps on your face until you wake up, complains, goes to it's cage, grabs its bowl and throws it at you.

"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"

"BEEP BEEP BEEP!" (microwave noise)

Or maybe you're trying to have a nap in the middle of the afternoon but the bird wants to recite the sound the washing machine makes when it's finished a thousand times over.

[infernalis]

I like nice silent reptiles, best damn pet you can have.. forget to feed it?? no problem, tomorrow will be fine.

Technically a bird can go a day without food, but an your home survive a day's wrath of a parrot (who can pick that cage latch more easily than you think)? No.
:yes:

they CAN go a day without eating but they will surely let you know you forgot.

[mistersprinkles]

Yes. They will let you know by destroying the things you care about that you think they're too stupid to know you care about.

[stephanbakir]

My African grey would destroy the dog for dog food if you gave him half a chance. Had to feed the dog in a closed room, or put the parrot back in his cage (he was normally allowed to roam the house because for some reason he always went to the washroom in his cage)

[infernalis]

They have brilliant brain capacity, more than a lot of people give credit for.

[sickvenom]

I have a blue and gold macaw. He may become snake food one of these days.

A friend i grew up with had a "parrot", not sure what kind it was, when new people went in the house it would say "who are you?" constantly until you gave him your name. Then when you left he would say "bye xxx".

Hehad pretty mucha 100% success rate with getting the names right, totally amazing animal. He also had free roam of the hpuse and was trained to return to his house for toilet duties, the could even leave doors open to the outside and he would go out in the symmer and sit in the trees in the garden and come back in when called.

My friend has a sadistic parrot who is highly manipulative. She gets me every time. She'll land near you and squint and fluff her feathers and say "I Looooooove Youuuuu" and make cute noises like she wants you to pet her. And she'll keep doing it until you do. As soon as you touch her she doesn't bite you but she gauges you with her beak. Hard. Then laughs and bobs her head up and down. Then she tries to do it to someone else. She also says "I love you" and looks cute while stealing your food. That parrot has made my finger bleed every time I've been there...

[TeaNinja]

my brother used to have a blue and gold named Bird Bird. he had some evil tricks in his arsenal also but he never made me bleed. he used to say cracker for ALL foods, it didnt matter what the food was he'd say cracker. when he wanted to be held he'd say Step Up. but sometimes the evil little thing would look at me and say Step Up, and when i went to put my hand up to him to step on he'd grab it with his foot like he was going to step on it, then he'd pull your hand in and chomp you lol. he also loved to SCREECH veeery loud when we were trying to watch movies and such. sometimes i loved him and sometimes i HATED him lol.

i remember i had a birthday party when i was a kid and he was just chillin in the living room and i was in the dining room like 20 feet away. he took off FLYING across the house towards me and everyone HIT THE DECK and i just stuck out my arm and he landed right on it, like no big deal lol.

sometimes parrots can be really cool animals, especially african greys.

[infernalis]

Sparky the sulfur crested cockatoo was kicked once by an irresponsible owner, he hated human feet, My wife at the time came into my office in flip flop sandals....

He damn near tore off toes...

This parrot loves this cat. I've only ever seen parrots have extreme contempt for cats and try to torture them. My parrot used to land on my cat's head, pull it's ear, then fly away and laugh.
