Living in Asia, we get to eat a variety of strange foods, dog being one of the popular ones where I am in winter (supposedly dog meat warms the blood). It may sound gross or inhuman to eat Rover, but when the time comes, I reckon plenty of worse things will end up on the table (rat etc).

I have always thought the British very strange in their eating habits, they'll eat a curry so hot they cant even taste whats in it(could be dog or cat for all they know) but they scream at the idea of eating horses!, very strange.

I remember watching a TV show about London a few years back with a couple of middle-aged Chinese relatives of the wife, who couldn't understand why people weren't grabbing the pigeons in Trafalgar Square and taking them home for the pot!
RE: NR and CATS - bigpaul - 27 March 2014
the pigeons in London-and any other city for that matter- are FERAL pigeons and are nothing more than flying rats with feathers, full of disease and gawd knows what else, if you wanna eat pigeon you need WOOD pigeon(not the same thing).
I suppose if you were starving post SHTF you'd take the chance, but no need in good times, there is plenty of cheap food about.

Although I agree many will go back wild, that is those that survive, keeping a few as pets Post SHTF can have advantages in keeping other vermin, like rats and mice down.
Don't forget Post SHTF will be whole new ball game.

"all 4 cats were treated at the same vets in Newbury"! is it just me or can anyone else see a link here??
no new cases have been recorded since March 2013!! this strain is one usually confined to livestock animals, I think some cats must have been playing with the badgers, as in Bovine TB.
