Feeding ducks

Try it and see....? See what if my Burm dies? There's no way in hell i'm feeding raccoon or skunks.

I've been told wild caught food is not ok, and riddled with parasites. But where do rabbits, chickens and ducks come from? The conditions don't look that much more favorable....

I've heard the story of people feeding roadkill and such. But where is the safe line on stuff like that?

Don't you hunt and fish? Do you not eat what you kill and catch? I'm missing the difference here ....

I'm assuming he cooks most of what he fishes. Hunting is the same deal. I dont cook most of what I catch but I make damn sure its clean, and comes from a clean area.
Can't do that without cutting the animal open and playing with its insides.

I believe there are lots of parasites that will not die even when cooked. I also guess that I eat all of my red meat medium rare.....

Which might those be...? I believe you're thinking of prions..

I'm not going to risk it. I'm sticking with rabbits.
