Australians have come up with a novel solution to the millions of feral cats roaming the outback - eat them.
The felines are the descendants of domestic pets and kill millions of small native animals each year.
A recent Alice Springs contest featured wild cat casserole. The meat is said to taste like a cross between rabbit and, perhaps inevitably, chicken.
Preparing this unusual stew seems simple enough.
The meat should be diced and fried until it is brown. Then lemon grass is to be added along with salt and pepper and three cups of quandong, which is a sweet desert fruit.
It is recommended that the dish be left to simmer for five hours before being garnished with bush plums and mistletoe berries.
Marinated moggie was not to everyone's taste. One of the competition judges found the meat impossibly tough and had to politely excuse herself and spit it out in a backroom.

or maybe a Merlot instead of a Meowlow?probably chose a Merlot instead of a Shiraz to accompany it
I read that the Chinese have taken DOG off there menu while the games are on,so not to offend western visitors.If they didn't announce this I wouldn't have known they actually eat dog over there
:topicGood to see he has used his head on this one. 1 less feral animal to shoot i say
yep bruised meat is more tenderbassman said:In China, dogs are beaten with clubs because it's believed the more brutal the death, the better the meat tastes.
Myna Fightback
The Common Indian Myna bird is fast becoming Australia's number one feral enemy! In Autumn, mynas start to aggregate in large flocks - providing the perfect opportunity to launch public education campaigns and to trial a new trap that could finally provide a way to remove these clever and aggressive pests.
The myna bird has been declared the second greatest threat to native birds after land clearing. It's currently spreading through eastern Australia, yet in some areas its arrival is so recent that unknowing residents welcome it into their backyards and encourage it to feed alongside native birds.
First introduced to Australia to control insect pests, the arrival of the Common Indian Myna (Acridotheres tristis) in a region signals a disastrous change to come in local bird populations. This extremely aggressive bird chases out native birds and small tree dwelling marsupials such as feather-tailed gliders.
etc
yep bruised meat is more tender
no argument from me m8, -... but they all trace back to my original point - who brought them here in the first place?
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man"
you search the traits of this small world, the “traitors” carved in granite
you’ll see how much God screwed up / erred - when he chose the world to "man-it"
you watch "the Planet of the Apes", which God has “boy-and-girled”
... which other creature first pack rapes - and then PACK RAPES THE WORLD. ?
In China, dogs are beaten with clubs because it's believed the more brutal the death, the better the meat tastes. In Korea, cats are dropped alive into boiling water because it makes the skin easier to remove. I could go on but I have tears in my eyes from just typing the last two sentences.
I wonder which method of castration was felt to be most humane, knife, ring or teeth ?What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive, the males would then be castrated and let loose again. Therefore the population would be controlled.
