Everything is raw. We either buy the ground beef at Costco or grind meat at home and freeze it. The eggs are raw but we wash the shells first. Any meat scraps go into the mix. Fish, chicken, game, etc.

I'd be concerned about E. Coli or Salmonella. They sneak into ground beef and eggs somewhat often, and can be dangerous. Cooking takes care of it, but eating raw meat and eggs can be risky. Most batches are safe, of course, but eating a lot of raw meat/eggs is like playing Russian Roulette, sooner or later you'll get a bad one.

Same goes for raw oysters. I stopped eating them years ago after seeing too many friends get deathly ill from a bad one. After recovering one friend told me about what had happened to her, and I asked her why she hadn't called me for help when she was sick. Her reply, "I wanted to, but I couldn't get off the floor to reach the phone."

Are those dogs or wolverines?

I'm in NZ and we feed our dog raw meat we get at a pet food store. The store owner said that when Kiwis started feeding their dogs commercial food, the vets started seeing health problems they'd never encountered before, as well as more health problems. Raw meat is a common diet in NZ for cats and dogs from what I understand, and our vet recommends it. It's cheaper and our pets prefer it.

The chicken they get are ours and they get it raw or, if there's leftovers cooked and pulled form the bone.

We don't eat commercial chicken. I wouldn't touch it my self. We're lucky enough to have enough room for 20 or so chickens. We've bought chicken at Whole Foods in the past that is not bad. The fat should be yellow, not white!
