This is actually true of most animals; even some we consider herbivores do eat animal products on occasion.

I know that squirrels will occasionally catch and kill prey. For some reason, I can't help but think that worse than the pain of being eaten alive would be the embarrassment of doing so at the hands of a squirrel.

As far as the beef goes, I hold out the hope that eventually they will get the process right, and every cut will be perfectly marbled, and even better than the real thing. In a few dozen years, it might be possible to have a cut of meat superior to a perfect prime rib, for all three meals (although, in that case, I think I would eat more than three meals a day).

My dogs would love to eat squirrel. They do get the ocassional bunny and ground hog. Way much less since I’m on to their conspiracy with the cat....

This idea may not work for mass marketing but might be promising in space exploration where live cows won’t work. Eating steak on Mars...
