Interesting use for venison

[nun_hunter]

I read this and although it's a bit of a nothing article I thought it was showing venison (including roadkill) being put to good use.

With the price of venison (in the fur) being less than premium raw dog food I'm surprised more people aren't shooting deer to feed dogs, or in this case exotic pets.

if you had ever visited his farm shop you doubt he is feeding the lions good venison

Well I am not shooting them to feed the dogs, but there isn't much waste and a lot of 'dog venison'. No point turning my nose up at some bits when the dogs will love me forever and there are less biscuits consumed.

I love the fact that he shoots deers when we just shoot deer!! Are deers a sub species??

I'm definitely more ruthless with the knife when butchering now and only keep the best bits for me, everything else goes to the dog. In the past I'd be scraping every bone clean for extra mince but now the dog enjoys those bits.

Mine is the same if it's just meat and too much of it. If there is plenty of bone with then he's all good.

I feed my lab venison offcuts mixed with some dry kibble - makes his constitution far firmer.

Soon somebody will write an article about how cruel it is that they let lions in places such as the Kruger, Hwange, Lower Zambezi, Luangwa, Etosha and other national parks chase and kill real live antelopes.

In these days they should be fed a processed plant based diet.
