Free lunch

[Outlaw Yogi]

At times, like when unemployed or trying to economise I pick up road kill (wallabies, roos, rabbits, hares, paddy-melons ect) along the arterial road leading to my area, or if I hit it myself, or have just seen another do so, and the animal is still alive (flopping around in agony on the road), I stop get out and kill it, then take it home, skin it, gut it and cook it for my dogs. Eight years ago while living feral under a blue tarp I ate the road kill myself on numerous occasions, as well as kill and eat wild animals in the bush, quite a few of which were/are protected species - lived like that for 5 months. Goannas taste like crap, Bearded Dragons taste like turkey, Qld Currawong/White wing choff taste like mutton, Poteroos taste like mutton. Can't eat Foxes or Crows, they're rank, even after boiling 3 times.
I remember getting a dirty look of distain from a passing driver on one occasion while walking along the road through my valley with a hare hanging from a stick over my shoulder.
I'm aware some people are critical of Chinese because there's almost nothing they won't eat, but from my perspective they're just being ignorantly judgemental. And now it appears as Chinese are economically progressing they're adopting western stuck up judgmentalism too.

BTW, I got layed off (with no pay) for 3 months on Wednesday, so if I fail to get another job of find a gold nugget in the near future, my dogs, and maybe me too, will be eating the wild life again.

Outrage as tourist slings dolphin over his shoulder and walks off with it from the beach

A video of a man carrying a dolphin over his shoulder has sparked outrage online.

Police in China are looking for the man after he was caught on camera carrying the animal on a beach.

People have called for the man to be fined "thousands of yuan" after the incident.

According to witnesses, the animal was stranded on the beach in southern China and appeared to be dying when the man picked it up on May 1.

Footage of the incident, filmed on Hailing Island in China's Guangdong province, shows the man walking along the beach with the animal over his shoulder.

Mr Chen told Btime: "It seemed to be dying, actually almost dead near the shore.


"The tourist caught it and put it on his shoulder. Then he drove away in his vehicle, presumably with the dolphin."

In the video, the man appears to have his hand over the animal's mouth.

One person commented online: "If caught they must be severely criticised."

Another wrote: "These people are savages. They should be punished and made to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan."

And another person added: "This is disgusting."

Dolphins are listed as a protected species under China's Law of Wildlife Protection.

Citizens are not allowed to hunt, kill, sell or keep the protected species, even if it is found dead.

The Guangdong fisheries department confirmed that they are investigating the incident in a statement on their official Wechat page.

In 2013, a stranded dolphin died in Hainan province after being handled by tourists wanting photos with it.
