There is nothing inherently wrong about eating dog, or cat or whatever.... unless of course you are an Orthodox Jew or Muslim.

Lewis and Clark ate coyote on their excursion.

I have a problem, though with the Donner party.

Still, your point is well taken. The Donner folks laid pretty low afterwards.

The Donner folks laid pretty low afterwards...although I understand from a PBS program on the incident from a few years back that one of them later went to San Francisco and became a successful restauranteur - for real.......

Well, you’re preaching to the wrong guy. I happen to think its not a good idea to eat the meat of anything that eats meat(unless they aren’t warm blooded animals). I also think we shouldn’t eat anything smarter than a deer or goat and preferably animals less intelligent than that. Pigs, dogs, bear, cats, primates, and elephants are all off limits as far as I’m concerned.
