Shark fin, meh.

Saw a video of the results of harvest. The live, fin-less bodies
drifting aimlessly to the bottom of the cove, left to die without
pride.

You could see the confusion and helplessness in their drift.

Not for me.

Kill it outright if you want to eat it.

Venison is good, never had roadkill though.

Sharks nervous system s are so primitive that their spines twist as if swimming hours after you have cut off their heads and removed their intestones. It's pretty wild. I used to work on a trawler where I had to process sand sharks when they got caught in the net. I used to spend hours and hours cutting off sharks heads. Commercial fishing is intense. We sold the meat on the back of the spine. It was considered by catch. No one was happy to deal with them. Only used instead of wasting the life and time spent getting them in a box to ship to market. All commercial fishing involves barbaric activities. If you eat it than you are complicit. Killing and watching things die slowly is difficult and takes a certain level of psychological detachment if you don't want to to fall into sociopathy. I imagine soldiers in war to experience something similar. Killing is a job, it's not who you are. Kinda scary what people are capable of doing when we go to that mental space

Yeah,I don't understand why they just take the fin.that part doesn't make sense to me and I don't condone anything inhumane.

if nothing happened for 5 days after it was not the venison in itself.

i dont know if a person could contract the CWD (Chronic wasting disease) deer/cattle can get but rare, but seems they would all have died from that....it is not a violent illness, they waste away to nothing and collapse

Many folks in the north eat road-killed moose. If processed in a timely manner, there's nothing wrong with it. If bones shattered on impact, then clean the meat better when processing. Common practice. (*Mind you, it's a WHOLE lot cheaper to hunt with a .338 Win Mag than a Toyota..)

The illness involved in this case was either bacteria-generated, or had nothing to do with the venison at all. That's my current conclusion.

Makes sense over a million deer are hit by cars a year. Only illegal in Nevada and California for some reason.

The Troopers or other local LE have kept regional/area-specific lists people can sign up for, to get called when there's a kill, and they're to go process it. If they can't go when they get the call (all hours of day or night), then the next person/group on the list gets a call.

For a while there was an outfit that had a contract with the State for such things, to remove the carcasses and process elsewhere, in order to provide for safer protocol, instead of folks standing on the side of an icy road for 2-1/2 to 4 hours cutting in the dark and cold.. But the economy has brought an end to that.

Here a person can't keep the animal they hit, unless State Troopers/LEO give the go-ahead (instead deferring to the road-kill list); some bone-headed legislators figured years ago that if we could keep the critter we killed, then we'd all be running into them on purpose, telling me the dumbasses had never hit a moose before. It's often an eye-opener.

I've hit three now, and my wife has hit one. The one I hit that didn't die or even get injured, was a 'tap,' on glazed wet ice, immediately after getting my truck back from killing the first one.

In the tap, she literally walked into -me-, taking off my driver's side-view mirror, and denting the front left fender notably, after I'd purposefully aimed for the ditch, unable to stop. She strolled right into me.. The bitch! (Larger cow).

Murphy; if you've just gotten your rig out of the body shop, a wreck is more apt to occur.

$10,000 to repair a totaled truck, versus $3 to $4 for a high-powered rifle cartridge... and the possibility of death from the collision? And the legislators apparently thought we'd be doing this shit on purpose??
