Yeah, but they have squirrels and possums, right? That's part of their culture isn't it? Like they thought eating

pets is something Haitian immigrants would do. You don't hear shit like that from our side except for me.

So....

And, yes, it's true that in many rural areas people eat small game like squirrels, possums, etc. There's an annual raccoon eating festival near my hometown.

They =/= pets.

Unless that's a misspelling for "pest."

(I like squirrels. Then again, I don't like squirrel--the whole "cud" and "cloven hoof" thing's in the way. Still, they raid bird feeders and can do bad things to wiring and such.)
