Dear Sooze, if we don't eat pheasant they will grow as common as pidgions in New York, also refered to as winged rats. Unlike eating beef, which can scramble your brains in a number of places in the world, which as a result of industrial farming, has created environmental crises and mad cow desease, eating game is part of the communion of life which God in its infinate wisdom created.
To my game eating comrads a word of warning. The use of pesticides on lawns has put poisons in the meat of Geese, I beleive, as they feed on lawns here in the US, fly up to Canada, where Innu and other Natives eat them and Native friends are telling me that they are experincing odd illnesses which their grandparents never did... Also there was a report on the news last night of a mad cow like desease in American deer and elk... bummer.
the world is getting too effing filthy, isn't it?
