America is absolutely disconnected to meat

I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawk’s food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.

Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.

Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.

Your rack of ribs are from a cow’s rib cage.

It’s like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.

You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when it’s at it’s freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered “gore” by many folks when in reality it’s no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.

You also notice that Americans have an idea of what’s normal meat and what isn’t normal meat and there’s racist undertones that I’ve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos

You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is “eating a dog.” Meanwhile this is roasted goat.

You have people who’s only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because “Eww there’s a head!” Yeah.. most animals have heads..

Some of ya’ll need to realize what your meat looks like prior to processing and that it’s prepared in different ways. We also need to erase the stigma behind non traditional meats.

Truly, genuinely, as an indigenous person I talk about this exact thing a LOT! Like, don't get me wrong I get a bit squicked when dressing a chicken or gutting and cleaning a fish, lord knows I had really mixed feelings the first time I saw a deers throat slit (I thought it was cruel, until my elder asked me if I would have preferred to let it suffer instead) The truth of the matter is that animals and humans are intertwined. We are food to one another, that's the way of the world and I think people forget that when we champion for humane treatment of animals and when we rail against factory farming we need to remember that removing death is not the goal, removing undue suffering it.

As we enter the first roadkill season of the year (March - May), I’d like to remind everyone to SLOW DOWN THIS SPRING. Not only does speeding put your life at risk, but it risks many other’s lives, including mother animals and their offspring. In the case of the fascinating Virginia Opossum, the death of a mother may mean the death for the rest of her generation. I was very heartbroken to collect this carcass today with one remaining kit inside her pouch.

Been getting into Egyptian history/mythology as of late, and I decided to draw one of my favorite deities, Sutekh. God of Chaos, storms and the desert

god damn people who are constantly in the thralls of this solipsistic, self-interested/self-obsessed, hyper-negative, jaded worldview are so annoying and they think that the problem is everyone else on earth when really nobody wants to be around them because they fucking suck. its like reeking of shit and smelling it and blaming everyone else but your own stinky ass

No one can bring up bugs in any positive context without some motherfucker informing everyone that they’re allergic to bees and once nearly died from a brown recluse spider and their brother woke up one morning as a giant cockroach and became a real burden to the family ever since he stopped being able to work.

good morning ☀️ here’s a ten minute breakfast timelapse to start the day. today the roach tank is getting something new(ish) - beef lung, a piece of a chicken patty, and some pig nose.

I’ve tested these items out in the past and while they’re served with their weekend bowl refill I’ve noticed that they usually chew on them periodically throughout the week as opposed to eating them right away… well. except for the beef lung. that is usually utterly devoured by the female hissing roaches as soon as possible.

Nothing boils my blood quite like grown adults who take child-like delight in the killing of insects. If it were any other type of animal people would treat them like serial killers
