Traps in park

New immigrants tend to follow what they hunted and ate in their country of origin.
When the Large numbers of Italians migrated to the U.S.,they had to be taught to quit shooting all the robins.

Rabies ? Probably not cooked enough.

Lets work on that coyote carcass market. Different folks have a different sense of taste .

It's evolution. Centuries of eating canines has weeded out the folks that think they taste bad.

We evolved to love pork, beef, and chicken .

been told many times bobcat backstraps are as good as it gets.Our mind has too much influence on our stomach.

and what the heck you doin up so early??

i smelled dog cooking on a fire in philippines.....awful smell...i about barfed

We had a pyre for a dog that died in the winter time. I did not think it smelled bad at all. Probably helped that we started the fire with some old cooking oil lol!

Savell- The Hmong lived in the mountains of Indo-China and were (are?)looked down upon by the ethnic Vietnamese and Lao. They were generally tougher fighters and more loyal to the Americans than our other native allies during that war. Lutheran Social Services (with the help of the CIA) settled many Hmong in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Now ask me what a "Karen" is and why there are 1,500 of them living in Huron, South Dakota...

werent there when i had my office and lived in huron....only 2 brits. Huron was the pits

....well put me down for one then....the sparrows keep building nest out in the washroom

You would think there might be a market for coyote and fox carcasses to the orientals.

Yes,rogue, this is a rather recent development. I don't know for sure but probably mostly brought in by Lutheran Social Services. I don't know (or if they will ever admit it) for sure but they help relocate for the CIA and other US gov elements foreign people who have helped out the agency-a reward for their loyalty. The various Burmese govs over the decades have not been friendly to the USA so we have people there (mostly the Karens) who have resisted and caused the Burmese gov heartburn. Locating such people to the Midwest is a good way to get these people into the country and repay them for their "services" abroad.

Rogue- Huron is doing better now than probably hen you were there. Most of the Karen adults work for the Hutterite owned (Savell, you probably don't have Hutts down in TX either) turkey processing plant. A lot of PR folks are working for the Hutterites at the plant as well. Sort of a "only in America" sort of story. A German-speaking religious group who immigrated to the US only about 140 years ago because of persecution in Europe and who have done well communally farming in the northern Great Plains (both USA and Canada) started their own poultry slaughter house and eventually employ other ethnic groups, some new to the US, to run their meat packing factory. I wonder how many of the P Ricans will go back to the island if the economy there got a lot better?

Savell- Just from what I've heard and seen around here, Hispanics, especially Mexican, often start off working in the meat packing plants but tend to get into construction. Our housing construction around here is on fire and has been that way for a while. When I built my house in 2008, I think the dry-wall and lawn irrigation sub contractors had mostly Hispanic crews.
