    Where I am from, venison is quite the norm. It's just horribly expensive.

    I don't eat it though, purely because I don't like it. No other reasons. I don't have a problem with others eating it, though.

    I didnt know people had a problem with it - its one of the best smoked meats.

    What we should be eating more of is veal, which because of its dire reputation means that loads of young cows are killed and then just destroyed.

    I love Venison, I eat loads of it when I'm in the New Forest. I think people get upset because it's fairly unusual and they think dear look so cute...but then so do lambs e.t.c....


    I love Veal aswell, they eat alot more of it in Austria and Germany, I've had some delicious meals with veal over there.

    I have some veal in the freezer. Not sure whether to cook it with a mushroom sauce, or have it in breadcrumbs. :yum:

    I'll eat both Venison and Veal, dont see the problem really, its just another form of meat.

    controversially i dont have a problem with Fois gras either, there seems to be some big campaign against it, but hey ho. i think i heard something recently about trying to ban it.

    ETA: before anyone posts that video of force feeding i've seen it, and understand how it is made.

    check out dairy farming as well, its a cruel world.

    i have no moral objection to venison, and no objection to veal as long as its not white veal, which is cruel and intensively produced (and banned in the UK)
    I dont like the way foie gras is produced either, and it tastes hideous too

    I wouldn't eat it, but I am fussy and don't eat lots of things. I don't especially have a problem with others eating it.

    Venison - Yum.
    Veal - Yum.
    Foie Gras - Yum.

    We're top of the food chain for a reason.

    It's a bit like pate, and as mentioned above, made out of duck or goose liver.

    It's delicious :yum: but a lot of people don't agree with the way it's produced.

    Man, in Montana if you don't eat venison you're usualy considered a pussy. Hunting has to be the state sport.

    There was this dude serving up venison chili out of the tailgate of his truck at a rugby tourniment. He had this big sign that read

    "Shoot em
    Stick em
    Gut em
    Grill them
    Walk tall and eat proud you fucking Bambi killers!"

    I asked him about it and he said "I don't really know, came up with it right after I shot the damn thing, made sense at the time. I'd been drinking for most of the day"

    Surely being destroyed is nicer than having to suffer being a veal calf.

    Note: To the OP... It's less cruel to consume an animal that has had freedom in the wild than a battery chicken.

    There's nothing at all wrong with eating deer, but people don't like it because deer are "cute". Tough luck, they taste nice.

    I do have problems with factory-farmed foie gras (there is ethical foie gras on the market, and it tastes just as nice), and I have problems with white veal too.

    There's nothing wrong with eating an animal, but there is everything wrong with torturing it first. We're not cats.

    hehe I like that.

    How on earth do you get ethical foie gras though? Oh and they've just banned foie gras completely in York.

    Some places produce foie gras without forcefeeding the geese. They say the funnel feeding is unnecessary as geese are naturally greedy especially at certain times of the year, so they can just overfeed them at those times and theyll stuff themselves silly and swell their own livers without too much prompting anyway.

    I suppose that's better than sticking a tube down their neck but I'd still say they were exploiting the geese's natural greed for their own ends :p

    I'm surprised that they don't explode after being force fed!
