I'm not being sarcastic: can you eat pigeons that live in the city?

Is it illegal to eat them? I may need to know this at some point.
They used to call cats roof rabbits in Central Europe's hard times during and between World War I and World War II. I don't think I could bring myself to kill and eat a cat no matter how hungry I was. I could eat a pigeon though. I'm not fond of them.
Is the UnrepentantLiberal going through a "hard time" and can't afford food?

23. Can you hunt them with a slingshot?
I used to be pretty with a slingshot.
If you're dumb enough to pay two grand a month in rent to live in NYC, I got no sympathy for you.
Cleita had some "helpful" advice. :rofl:
I don't know why he/she/it rejects cats out of hand. They make some dam fine eating.
Can you eatflying ratspigeons ?
Why yes. Yes you can.
Serve them up on a nice slice of packing case and top with some discarded-pizza-box cheese !

57. please it is ILLEGAL to kill, cook, & eat the pigeons w.out a license in some USA cities
example, in san francisco, you could be charged w. animal cruelty
i strongly suggest you call a wildlife officer and ask what the local law is, of course feral pigeon is not protected as a native bird (it isn't a native bird) but nor is a cat a native mammal, yet if you catch, cook, and eat a feral cat, you can be charged w. animal cruelty in some areas...absolutely no different w. the pigeons...these are both descendents of animals that have a long history of companionship and service to humans -- how many cats have been awarded medals for honorable service in war? you may prefer cats to pigeons but the pigeon fanciers think otherwise and they do have tradition on their side...
I've never had a bad dish of chop suey.
Maybe you can bbq them in mustard sauce. I dunno.
I'd suggest that one can eat just about anything, primitive. How healthy or legal it may or may not be are different questions.
Who's the DUmmie asshole that wants to eat pigeons?!?!?!
Who's the DUmmie asshole that wants to eat pigeons?!?!?!
Like I said earlier Flippy, apparently squab is a real popular item in high-end restaurants in DUmmie enclaves like NYC, etc. I did a little nadining of it and found out that they're raised much as regular pigeons are until they're about a month old, when they're near adult size but haven't flown yet.
So basically it's like raising veal or baby harp seal. And even more surprising is how expensive they are--something like $8-9 per lb. Compare that to what, 79 cents a pound for chicken?
Tastes like chicken... or so I am told. :tongue: :tongue:

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a Freeper?
We've all seen quote after vile and hateful quote from the members of Free Republic. It's encouraged. With each post they try to outdo each other. It's that website's reason for being: "Christians" who hate.
Yes we fight and sometimes get very angry when we do. But there's a deep well of caring on Democratic Underground. It's encouraged and appreciated by everyone. It's this website's reason for being. The quickest way to get banned is to express hatred.
So I wonder what it's like to be a Freeper. To be consumed with hate. Day after day; year after year. Swimming in a pool of hatred.
I'm so glad I'm not a Freeper.

63. Uh, no, they're not
As a former farm boy who has hunted and eaten a lot wild animals I can tell you squirrels are not tasty in my opinion. They do not taste "just like chicken."
Deer meat when properly prepared can be quite tasty though.
Since I'm part Irish Setter and part pigeon I'm just wondering if the question about eating pigeons is some sort of veiled threat against me.
There's reason to suspect that the poster might be delusional
I was doing some thinking last night, and I began wondering if maybe this is code language for DUmmy advocacy of cannibalism. We know that their political masters refer to extraordinarily stupid people - them - as "pigeons", after all. It's quite possible that some of the - slightly - more intelligent of the below average are seeing the potential catastrophe on the horizon (even if they're buying the excuses and blame passing of their leaders lock, stock and barrel) and are making preparations for "going Donner" on the available food sources.
If a DUmmy desires your body, it's not for food.
He need your liver to replace his because of alcohol abuse.
Because of his acute alcoholism, he needs your pancreas as well to keep his diabetes under control.
He needs tour lungs to replace his as he destroyed his by too many bong hots.
He needs your heart because all the crystal he used caused his heartbeat to accelerate to such a high rate, that it is worn out.
He needs your kidneys because he destroyed his after ingesting drugs cut with toxins.
He needs your brain as he never had one.
You have to cut out the musk glands before you cook them, you phony former farm boy.
Pigeons ????? Hell, by the time Obama and crowd leave Washington, DUmmies will be eating crow for years to come
No they won't. They too damned stupid to learn from history. I'm beginning the think they're incapable of learning PERIOD, unless it is theory-based. These jackasses are still trying to sell Socialism as a good economic model. When it fails, they'll be right back here saying the only reason it didn't work is the right people didn't try it, or Obama was somehow a Republican.
