Canadian figure skater Meagan Duhamel is hoping to win a gold medal in South Korea this month - though no prize could be more life-changing than her previous Pyeongchang souvenir.
Not after last year, when the two-time world champion pairs skater brought home Moo-tae - an affable miniature dachshund mix with big ears, bowed legs and the bad luck of being born into the Korean dog meat trade. Duhamel, a vegan and animal lover, helped rescue Moo-tae by accompanying him on his flight from South Korea to Canada last February. The 2-year-old pup has been living with her and husband/coach Bruno Marcotte in Montreal since, spending his days doing yoga with Duhamel and making friends at the local dog park.
"He's like a saint," Duhamel said.
Taiwan bans human consumption of cat, dog meat It's been a different life for Moo-tae. Like roughly 2 million dogs each year, he was supposed to be raised on a Korean dog meat farm, where conditions are often poor.

They had foal on the menu when I was in Austria, but I couldn’t bring myself to try it.

Rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents.

At half a pound each (live weight), I'd have to be pretty desperate to bother eating a pika. Rabbits, OTOH, are worth the trouble.

Good eats.

To be fair, lagomorphs and rodentiae are closely related.

Well, yes. There’s that. But I already have two freezers full of elk, bear, beef, pork and Canada-caught trout and walleye.
Beau is a great provider. Rabbit is WAY down on the list. And thankfully, I’ve never been THAT hungry! :)
