Can I Eat a Cow? Removing Its Skin and Guts

[wolram]

I mean kill it skin in it and remove its guts.

I've done it with deer. Cows are just heavier.

You mean physically or emotionally?

 

[Andre]

Done it with rabbits and chickens, with stiff upper lip as survival teacher. But, it's no fun.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

I've done it with a fish, but I didn't remove the skin, I ate it.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

You mean physically or emotionally?

You women are all alike.

 

[Pengwuino]

If I knew how, I'd make a game out of it.

I've done it to thousands of fish - I worked a salmon slime line in Alaska for a summer .

Seems a chicken would be a mess, with all the feathers everywhere.

Not in the hands of an expert chicken flicker. Two enter, one leaves. Plus a pillow.

I have slaughtered cows (steers), skun them, gutted them and butchered them. Deer are easier to handle, but if you have a come-along or winch and a sturdy scaffold or tree to hang the steer from, the only real difference in the process is the size of the gut-pile and the weight of the hide. Fresh steer-hides are incredibly heavy, if you're trying to handle them with only one or two people.

Yum. Marinated deer backstraps.

I've raised steers (grain feed) and took them to a meat market that took care of everything. Another Yum.

My father hunted, so there probably isn't much that I haven't helped skin, gut and eat. Lots of Yums.

I couldn't do it. If the cow was alive and I was starving, I'd dig up and eat grubs before I would kill the cow. So I kill the cow and live another week before the meat rots and then I die anyway. The cow is superior to me because it will continue to eat grass and live.

So, that's why I would live on the ocean and eat the crustaceans which live in abundance.

And I'd gather and grow veggies. I read that in England 200 years ago that a wonderful wild asparagus grew along the sand dunes before asparagus was cultivated.

 

[Proton Soup]

the asparagus was probably brought in by the romans much earlier, and escaped.

yep, i could kill and eat, no problem. once you get hungry, sentimentality loses its appeal.

 

[Carnivroar]

I opened some live clams today so killing a cow shouldn't be much harder... :shy:

How do you emotionally kill a cow?

 

[Antiphon]

Four days without food and I'd be slicing it up and grilling steaks.

Becoming a coroner would be a lot harder than becoming a butcher.

If it was a case of starving, then Nellie would get it and I'd be having steak for tea.

I do not know how anyone could do that job.

Survival instinct is a powerful thing.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Killing and then eating a cow would be a lot easier than watching what our satan-cats do to their innocent little victims.

 

[turbo]

How do you emotionally kill a cow?

Show it packages of calves' liver and veal?

Visit an abatoir and you will become vegetarian instantaniously.
And red is not the natural color of hot dogs!

Sorry. I grew up from a very young age slaughtering hogs, steers, deer, moose, etc with my family and helping out whenever and wherever I could. Even as young as 5 or 6, kids in our family were expected to help out and learn the ropes. None of my cousins or siblings are vegans.
