Squirrels, ducks, rabbits, lamb/sheep, veal, venison ... there is no way I could eat those. Squirrels are rodents, and dead ducks look too much like ducks. Rabbits are cute. Lambs are too young and cute, and sheep used to be lambs. Plus I think sheep have ugly faces. Veal - I don't like the way the calves are raised. Deer are too lovely, but I would take the ribs (if a hunter offered them) or ground venison because it would be good for my dog, and he would love it.
There is a downside to looking at animals like I do: It limits me to canned tuna, beef, and chicken. I eat pork, but rarely because pigs are so intelligent. If I had to raise my own meat, I'd have to be a vegan or vegetarian because I could not kill my friends. I am basically a sentimental sap, I guess.
I think a lot of it is boiled down to how someone is raised, except for the adventuresome. No one in my family hunted, until my brother did. My mother served beef, chicken and chicken livers, turkey, and sometimes pork, and that was it. Well, she cooked fish, but I don't like fish and fed it to the dog.
I tried some kind of kidney pie once, thinking the kidneys were kidney beans because what else would it be? I about croaked when I was told they were animal kidneys. Which animal, I don't recall. I was a dinner guest at their home, so I ate it all. This British couple also served Yorkshire pudding with gravy, which goes a long way with me. And mashed potatoes mixed with mashed turnips. And a beef roast. All in all, I loved the food and that made up for having to eat the kidney pie.
