they confirmed it wasn't chicken pork beef or lamb, but they didn't know what it was cos they only tested for beef pork chicken lamb and horse.
It could have been anything from dog to guinnee pigs.

probably just rabbit though.

I can remember 20 odd years ago, armed police being sent to the area around Newcastle city hall because somebody had been spotted with a gun and they thought it might be a nutter after Jason Donovan who was playing that night. Turned out to be a local chinese takeaway owner after feral pigeons to put in the chicken dishes, so it goes to show this sort of thing has been going on for years. TBH, whether it's pigeon chow mein, cat curry or dogger kebab, as long as it's been cooked sufficiently and correctly then it would be edible, just very distasteful to our western/european/civilised sensibilities. More worrying is the possible chemical residues left over from vetinary interventions on the dodgerly sourced domestic livestock (including horses) that appears to be getting through.
