Composting: Cat Manure
Isn't dog supposed to be a specialty in China? And don't forget "roof rabbits". I don't eat them, just sayin'. There are some cultures that practiced cannibalism until very recently, the Fore people in New Guinea come to mind. They stopped because it was the cause of the spongiform encephalitis disease kuru. AIDS crossed the species barrier because Africans hunt apes and monkeys for food. Eating any closely related species is a very bad idea as is eating carnivores and scavengers. The only reason to do it is when the alternative is starvation. China has a long history of famine so they do eat cats and dogs, it doesn't make make it a good idea. In fact there was widespread cannibalism in China during the Great Leap Forward when Mao starved 50 million people to death and there must have been cannibalism in the Ukraine when Stalin deliberately starved 7 million people to death. Under those circumstances the first thing you eat are the horses, then the rats, then cats and dogs and finally people. This thread started about using cat poop as fertilizer. Very very poor people use whatever they have on hand including human waste, they do that because the alternative is starvation. That doesn't make it a good idea for anyone who isn't living in a desperately poor third world village. Rich westerners with their suburban gardens should stick to manure from cows, horses (the French eat them even if Americans don't), sheep and chickens. |
