Would you eat your pet when it dies, and if so, how would you prepare it?

[Anonymous No.16944850]

No, I will place my pets cremated remains within a consecrated Shinto shrine dedicated to him.

I would, and I did.

Fuck no.
An animal well-kept as a pet is going to be way too old when it dies for the meat to be any good for eating.

[Anonymous No.16944900]

Maybe if I kept cows, pigs, and chickens as pets

[Anonymous No.16944911]

pets are friends and friends aren't for eating. Unless you're that gay bear from the golden compass series

Depends on how they die.
I didn't eat my mouse, he had lost a lot of weight before he died and was euthanized via lethal injection. He got a fancy coffin and a cairn. Not sure I would have even eaten him even if he was healthy and at his heaviest (45g). Just not much food. But I did consider it.

Now my current pet, she is a duck, a meat breed, so I kind of already eat her in the form of her eggs. If she dies young and not pathogenic I'd eat her. I'd smoke her breasts and cure them into prosciutto. I'd just plain smoke her legs, wings, and thighs. Everything else would be soup. I would also be eating the head (braised Chinese style, I'd get all the spices and equipment for her), organs would be small, I would marinade the liver in nice flavorings and cook either via smoking or just pan frying, heart would be marinated and grilled, gizzard would be marinated, browned, stewed till tender, and then pan fried in some of her fat. She might also have some unlaid eggs inside her, which I would find a way to use in something special. Carcass would of course be slow cooked into a nice broth. Feet would be dried, roasted in her fat at a high heat for a short time, then added in with her carcass to stew. Down would be kept as well as her pinfeathers for crafts and to stuff a coat or pillow. If I had to put her down, blood would be kept and made into blood tofu or blood sausage.

Why yes, I have thought a lot about this.

Makes sense. You're raising a duck. That is the type of animal you definitely think about it with.
How is that going by the way? What breed is it? How difficult has it been to maintain?

[Anonymous No.16945013]

>>16944806
No, because it would sick, old, or both. That's not good eatin's. Now, bury it in the garden to become fertilizer, sure.

What if they were healthy and got killed in a way that preserved the meat?

>europoors eat their pets

[Anonymous No.16945070]

>>16944806
No because they're gonna be too old, have too many drugs and vaccinations, and they're your friend not your food.

Things are going great. She is a pekin duck. I like her even though she is a stupid bitch who constantly tries to get me to mate with her even though I was the first living thing she ever saw. She's pretty easy to maintain. She imprinted on me pretty hard so she refuses to live with the other ducks (she HATES them) so when she's inside she either is in a special harness diaper designed specifically for ducks or in her pool at night sleeping. She's pretty easy to care for. She eats whatever the other ducks do, but I plan to experiment with her feed and see how it effects her egg quality. She already gets extra treats and I feel like her eggs taste a bit better. But that could just be bias. She's pretty small for a pekin, so I expect her to live the standard 8+ years. But I've never raised a duck or any bird as a pet before. So we will see how this goes.

Anyways here's a pic of her.

Alright, you win, we're all garbage.

The Mongols used to eat their horses after they died as a sign of spiritual respect. Really, just letting the thing go to waste is pretty meaningless.
Though I can understand holding off if it's something like a cat or rat which really doesn't have much edible meat on it. That's more desperation food than poverty food.

Letting Mittens nourish you in death as he did in life is one thing but that implies you poop out "unwanted" bits of Mittens from your butt.
