meat

[freediver]

Mellie, eating any kind of meat raw or undercooked is a bad idea. Pig is about the worst of the bunch. However, you can also get very nasty diseases from fruit and veg. These should not influence your diet, just prepare your food properly.

Freediver, theres a big difference between an animal being slaughtered in a factory and being taken straight to the cool room, and a fly-blown kangaroo carcass which is shot out in the scrub/ paddock (by often by unemployed recreational shooters/bogans who want some spare change to buy a case of booze) that stuff the carcasses in the back of their pig/roo chasing utes where they remain for several hours before going into cold storage.

Furthermore, their worms are unique, in that the hatched worms re-enter the blood stream.



I wish you all the best with it however, each to their own.

You shouldn't just make up the facts to suit your argument.

Some facts....

*****************************************************************

The Federal government in 2006 told us there were 23 million kangaroos in Australia, and in 2008 tells us there are 25 million. However, noone can find them. By August 2008 there were only a handful of fulltime professional kangaroo shooters in NSW. All the rest have dropped out because they can't find enough kangaroos to shoot. However at this time there are around 2000 licensed partime shooters, who just shoot kangaroos at the weekends for fun and a few dollars.

*****************************************************************

Attempts to promote kangaroo meat in the United Kingdom failed because of widespread publicity about the cruelty which shocked Britons and also the health risk.

*****************************************************************

In 2010 Russia banned the import of kangaroo products quoting consistent contamination. They also expressed concern about the inhumane treatment of the joeys (baby kangaroos).

*****************************************************************

Kangaroo meat carries high burdens of internal abdominal and muscular parasites. Kangaroo meat has to be undercooked because it is tough and inedible when cooked thoroughly. This gives rise to more chance of a wide range of illnesses, some life threatening.

*****************************************************************

Kangaroo meat was the cause of Australia's first recorded outbreak of the potentially fatal disease toxoplasmosis that infected twelve people including a pregnant woman which caused her baby to be born blind.

*****************************************************************

Doctors have publicly warned Australians against eating undercooked kangaroo meat after discovering what they believe to be a new parasite found in two people who suffered long term illness after eating kangaroo meat.

*****************************************************************

There is high demand for kangaroo meat overseas because it is lean and cheap. Even more in demand is manufacturing meat. This is offal, trimmings, including bruising, and forequarter bones, which is put through a big grinder and ground into a paste. This is sent to Russia and Europe and turned into salamis and other small goods. Salamis are not cooked, but cured by a process of fermentation.

Note the obvious lack of cold storage (other than one small blue esky, presumably to keep the beer cold) on board this shooters vehicle.

Introducing..... Freedivers mobile steak hut.

Just one question Freediver, how do you stop the joey's squirming and jumping around in the stock-pot?

Kangaroo meat doesn't seem to have taken off, although it has been reasonably well promoted. I've only tasted it once and it wasn't a meat I'd try again regardless of it being worm infested or not.

I can't even get stray cats to eat it. I buy mince every couple of days for the magpies and just recently the butcher suggested I try kangaroo mince as it's a bit cheaper. The magpies spat it out and whinged until they got some beef mince and the cats just sniffed at it and walked away. Fortunately the butcher guaranteed they would love it - so I got a refund the next day.

There's something just a little too intense about the smell and flavour to be appealing, but obviously it suits those who like gamey meat or don't have easy access to a butcher.

Mantra, it's not even safe for animal consumption some vets insist due to the rare newly discovered parasites found in roo meat.

Your senses have served as a warning, instinctively, neither you or your cats are/were ever meant to consume this hazardous product.

Wise choice.



Also note how the above ABC article I provided a link to doesn't go into any detail as to why the Russian demand for roo meat has ceased.

The truth is, they found many carcasses were contaminated with assorted parasites and bacterium.
