Okay so, I am a strong believer in protecting animal rights, and habitat protection. I just had someone come into my office and start a debate with me about how I was morally wrong for eating some meats but not other types. My argument was based that people shouldn’t eat endangered animals, that each animal is part of a large chain and if one link was to break it could mean a chain reaction of species could become endangered as well.

So back and forth it went covering a wide spectrum until he claimed there was a few restaurants in New York that serve endangered animals, ie. Gorilla meat, wild cats etc. Is this true? If so how can that be legal when the hunting of these animals is prohibited?
I dont eat meat so i wouldnt know how its "harvested".

the fact that you harvest living animals seems a bit extreme- people should consume less meat and more veggies. then Americans wouldn't be so fat.

He's stupid because we breed chickens and cows and pigs for meat, but we don't breed gorillas, wid cats etc.

These restaurants are for sick people. It can be true, it's disgusting, but true.
 
i am sure it is partially true...

beyond a doubt i would bet there are some hidden secret restaurants that for an exorbitant fee you can get what you want... however there are no restaurants in the US openly serving endangered species.. it is is HIGHLY illegal
 
Ever wonder why cows and chickens are not on the endangered list? It's because we eat them. The best way to keep animals off the endangered list is to eat them. That way the animals are bred for food just as cows and chickens are bred. Animals are put on earth for the benefit of man, for food and clothing. We have a responsibility to use wisdom in the use of these animals for food and clothing and not for mere sport and a trophy to hang on our living room walls.
 
farming a specific type of animal for profit is a guaranteed way of making shore that animal never goes extinct. whats the chance sheep will go extinct? if big cats or gorillas where farmed i guarantee more money would go into the conservation. personally i see some animals like monkeys, dogs and cats off bounds for eating since it doesn't seem right.

I'm shore the animals wouldn't be hunted, but rather harvested and that sort of stuff only happens in non-westernized counties
