Australians have come up with a novel solution to the millions of feral cats roaming the outback - eat them.

The felines are the descendants of domestic pets and kill millions of small native animals each year.

A recent Alice Springs contest featured wild cat casserole. The meat is said to taste like a cross between rabbit and, perhaps inevitably, chicken.


Yeah, I love cats! Just that I can never finish a whole one. Frown

Hey, I'd go down there and take care of the problem for them if they'd foot the bill for the ammo. Quiggley's got nothing on me (besides looks Big Grin) I could even take my 45-70 Sharps!! But my AR would probably be easier on the shoulder - -

They outlaw guns and they got feral cats suddenly everywhere - -

Go figure!!

Too bad they can't do what a guy by the name of Timothy Dexter from my home town did.

There was a plague of feral cats, so the city councilors offered a reward for someone who could get rid of them. Mr Dexter, who had just inherited a ship, took up the commission. Once he had secured most of the cats on his ship he was told that it would be un-Christian to simply take them out to sea and drown them. So, Mr Dexter sailed to Jamaica in hopes of selling the cats. As luck would have it, there was a plague af rats decimating the sugar cane crop. The cats sold for quite a bit and he got to keep the bounty for collecting the critters in the first place.

The article also said that the Aussies have a problem with camels. Well, they have other uses, milk for one and they taste like beef. Hey! You can even race them! Thousands of Arabs can't be wrong.

I don't think I have ever eaten cat but would try it once just to see what it taste like. I ate dog in Nigeria and goat in North Carolina. Liked the dog hated the goat.

I am so proud that no one went for the gradutious, cheap lines like "We all like to eat a little cat once in awhile" or "Cat. The other white meat".Opps, I guess I just did.

As you can tell, I've deleted my post. I didn't want to cause any problems. And again, I'm sorry to have posted it.
