I think the Penguins might have something to say about that!!!!!!!!!

Chironex

So that's what PETA stands for, Penguins for the Ethical Treatment of Antarctica!!!!
Penguins can outswim them, so they can move to another iceberg.

This is the trouble with a country where there's so much about ethics and what not. Do you hear about happens over here? Nada? Does China ever have any pest problem? Nada? All pests have big problems over this part of the world. They get on the menu!

When we had the Vietnamese people coming in as imported work force, dogs started to disappear in the suburban areas. When they work in the rural areas, monitor lizards and snakes started to go.

In Thailand when the insects became plentiful during the harvest, their govt didn't hand out insecticides, they put up an ad campaign in the press and TV on the the food value of the insects and they were all eaten off. Now the people look forward to the coming of these pestilence as it's chow time. I have tried the fried grasshoppers, very yummy. If you were to close your eyes and have one in your mouth, it taste exactly like fried anchovies. Those people even eat the huge paddy rats. It's seems they are real good. I didn't have a chance to have a go for it yet.
Sorry, folks of the US of A, only way is to let the Asian in and let them sort it out.

I am actually looking forward to eating some of those weird things in China. Anthony Bourdain did some interesting articles about the street food in many Asian cities and described it as some of the best fare around.

Scot if you are real curious about these kind of stuff, go to Kwang Chow. It is a madhouse for this type of food. The Cantonese are notorious in their creativity in cooking all sorts of you can't imagine.

Btw, no one corrected my spelling :

PITA = Pain In The Assh#@*
I have always used this.

I love animals and have spent quite a bit of my life working with them. But we shouldn't get over board. The world is still evolving, it will, no matter how we try to stop/deviate it. Imagine, people trying to stop the extinction of the dinosaurs?

Jeff, all they say is to play rock music loud or a radio station that plays a lot of ppl on air as they don's like the sound of ppl. I did this 4 yrs ago (w/ neighbor) & it didn't help. the coons were rocking down the streets & snapping their fingers to the music!

Oh, believe me I knew right away! hahaha I just didn't point it out directly, but my subsequent post has it as PETA. I am anxious to try some Cantonese food.

Scot, you gotta be nutso! They eat live bugs & critters & fish still flopping on their plate. I saw a show on this & it made me sick. China ppl eat everything & anything esp if it moves.

HAHAHAHAHA, I don't think I will go quite that far. Two basic criteria: 1) It has to be dead 2) It has to be dead and not moving.

Maybe if you set out a nice bowl of habinero peppers out for them.

I've something for you from Sarawak - Fermented Wild Boar Meat aka 1) Dead (Very dead) meat, 2) Eat it and you are dead and not moving! I haven't tried it but even my friend who works with the aborigines won't go near it.
It is actually in our sense, rotting meat. It is fermented by a type of hill rice. Smells exactly like rotting dead animal. The indigenous people eat it in the bush with rice.
I have tried the Balut from Philippines when I was there, ya know, duckling in the egg aka the eggs with legs? No big deal though.
I think Pat will fall off the chair if she knew what I have tried.

just j

pattie u should start skinning them there hides are worth almost 30 bucks each ha ha peta they would hate me i use to work at a kill floor i would shoot 2300-2500 beef a day with a bolt gun now im at a smaller place where we kill buffalo elk moose, deer, and beef and hog we only shoot about 20 of each a week alot more layed back just start collecting the hides put lots of salt on them and next time i come down to those domes ill pickem up and take them to my work they buy hides

Patty in Wisc

Tog, nothing you have eaten would surprise me LOL. I bartended enough to not let anything surprise me. I wonder if you ate raccoon? To some ppl here, they LOVE it...esp black people. Black ppl here & pple down south love to eat squirrel & coon.
My girlfriend owned a bar & had a Wild Game Feast one year. The guys made dishes of their hunted game & the girls made all the side dishes.
We ate...you ready?...
Antelope, venison (deer), elk, moose, buffalo, rabbit, squirrel (yup, I did!), pheasant, ostrich & I forget what else. If anyone made coon I will throw up now if they tell me. Most were roasted in slow cooker & some (ground antelope, ground ostrich & ven. steaks) were made on the grill. Gotta say, nothing tasted bad.
J, I hear I could sell coon & squirrel tails but can't do that. Me no touch 'em!
There is a squirrel in trap right now! # 74
Gotta give another swimming lesson. bye

Balut doesn't smell like a dead animal, y'all. It smells and taste like chicken soup - only stronger. (But then again, it's the thought that counts, right?) Anybody want balut? Let me know, I'd be glad to send you some. Just had some 2 weeks ago. Hm-m-m-m yum!

Chironex

Which balut are you referring to Chong, the wild boar or the eggs with legs? I will try some.

I got two quarts of Jaboticabas off my tree and gave them to family, then the rest of the crop was eaten by a Racoon. He broke a few small limbs getting to the fruit. He even ate the ones that were not completely ripe. I'm going monday and buying a live trap or two.

I am going to follow your lead Patty and get maybe a small one for the bushytailed tree rats (squirrels). Cold blooded predators don't survive long in residential areas, and I don't eat Racoon or Bushy-tailed tree rats.

Patty in Wisc

Caloosa, now that the coon had a taste of your fruits it will be back - w/ family! Get a trap large enough to trap a coon - they don't cost much more than a small one.
If you relocate it/them, make sure you go further than 20 miles or it'll be back. And, tie trap up with wire so he can't get out while you're driving!!!!!
If you have a pond, it is the quickest & painless way to get rid of them.
