No.

He ate a Labrador he found dead on the road -it had no collar so he butchered it and cooked it. This is either a wind up or this man is mentally disturbed.

[Arksided]

I used to think that I would (Not Dog) but after more recent events no chance, also I saw an expert on something I don't recall but made the good point of not knowing the animals history.

[Cloverjo]

God, no.

[Barmaid]

No. Unless I had seen it killed. But then only game. I wouldn't eat a dog!!

[ynnafymmi]

After Brexit,we might all have to get used to it.and not joking.

[mallyh]

reading his book would be great for my diet ,i couldn't eat a thing after reading it ugh!!!!!

[Mamyalynne]

Not through choice but if circumstances change then maybe.

[andy-hughes]

No thanks.

The gentleman seems to equate eating an apple which has fallen from a tree, with a dead animal mown down by a car.

I think the ability to make that connection gives us a good idea how seriously warped his sense of reality is.

[Ellipsis]

Yes if desperate, otherwise no.

That said, I was a passenger in a car that ran over a pheasant, the car behind stopped and picked it up and I thought "You pheasant plucker" ...

[jno]

it's taken you 14 years to pick up on that story? I don't think it's changed the nation's eating habits much in the meantime.

[elliemay1]

Absolutely NOT!

[maggiebee]

Pick up roadkill to feed to the ferrets.

[Apc2604]

No way. There's loads of game roadkill where I live. Pheasants everywhere. And also many deer. It upsets me still after 43 years. I really don't like game anyway!

[pastafreak]

I know plenty of people eat roadkill, but I imagine they are experienced and know what to look for and how to cook it. And have lived to tell it. I *might*...if invited by one of these experienced folk. Not Labrador...or any other pet animal. I'd always think of the people it had belonged to.
I wonder if his book ever got printed...?

[marval]

No thank you.

[Cryptical]

Only if its still warm,yum yum.

[allenlondon]

A swift hit from a car on the A41 is probably better than the gruesome end most of your 4-legged friends ‘enjoy’ in slaughterhouses.

And the corpse is quite possibly cleaner, too!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Riddled with worms, possibly suffering from a nasty disease ( myxomatosis, toxoplasmosis) Yum Yum

[fender62]
