Hello pro-choice PETA folks!

[mark_a]

I have read that in some cultures, aborted sheep fetuses are considered a delicacy. Is there anything wrong with aborting or consuming sheep fetuses?

It is not a delicacy in the USA where I live. Can you provide me with any information on the countries/culture you are talking about? I’d like to know specifically which ones you mean first.

I live in the Upper Midwest. I never heard of this. Could you just tell me where this is happening? And, what connection this has with PETA people? Somehow, and I could be wrong- this is not likely happening in a PETA crowd if you KWIM.

Are you gonna make me say it?

I’m baiting PETA people who tend to be very pro-choice.

Is there a large PETA crowd in the area this happens in?

Eggs are not chicken embryos. They are not fertilized. If you have ever had the misfortune to crack one into the pan that has been fertilized, you would understand why we don’t eat them either.

When we lived in Iran, we could not get dog food. I had to make it myself. I bought something from the butcher they called ‘meat for dogs’ to chop up and cook with barley and vegetables. It was offal, lungs, etc. One time, the package had a sheep fetus in it. Suffice it to say, I had an unfortunate reaction to the find. There is no way it would have been considered for human consumption.

In a drs office I worked in the dr. Wanted to try a delicacy, can’t remember where it was a delicacy. When he cracked the egg it was fertilized and he ate it raw,everyone got up and left it was disgusting, even thinking of it now is churning my stomach, and I do eat UNFERTILIZED egg.

Balut.

There was a thread on this not too long ago.

The better question may be, what does a person’s stay in Iran and the access to dog food (since we all know what they believe about dogs, and owning one is) or what kind of dog food that person could purchase have a thing to do with your topic?

I am still guessing why you are so very hesitant to tell us which part of the US this is happening in. Could it be, it’s in a “bible belt” area?

Do you recall the title of the thread by chance or should I search it?

Wiki is only so-so reliable.

I see. We are talking about a predominantly catholic culture there. Wow, this OP really backfired as I expected it would.
