I disagree that cats can't have any plant material, they do eat the contents of stomachs in the wild, which largely contain plant material. It's an important source of a number of vitamins.

Btw, my first time skinning a chicken was when I got home from work, I dropped my motorcycle on my way home and broke my arm. I got home and went to check on the chickens and one had managed to break his wing. I was completely unprepared to properly process a chicken, no scalding pot or...

Yup, I' would try the scald next time, along with using the knife to help separate the skin. Not so much just cutting the skin off, because that would mutilate it, but more using the knife to just help as you pull the skin off. You're right though, the joints can be difficult to get the skin...

It's interesting to me that between here and a rabbit forum I'm on, most of the posters seems to be women. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm a little put off by how many women say that their husbands can't stomach the processing of the animals. I'm sure back in the day when people processed all...

I don't get the guys who can't kill an animal.... seems we have lost a bit of the ways of our ancestors. Anyway, if you are skinning, should I assume you aren't scalding? Scalding seems to make the skin come off a bit easier. Are you cutting the feet off and then skinning or trying to get...

I'm ok with my pregnant wife not helping with chicken processing duty.... What excuse does a man have for not helping his wife? Helping out might be nicer than pouring wine after the fact.

The sawzall didn't get me, something about the splash mask combined with the guy with the sawzall though... Just too much.

A scalpel can work, but it is a short blade. Some people may find a longer blade easier to work with. I used a Havalon knife with replaceable blade. You can buy them in anything from short scalpels to longer filet blades. A little pricy but if you have no talent for sharpening a blade it makes...

That's so Dexter.

Don't think that that is a marketing expert in front of a group of college students. Seems more like an animal rights activist preaching to a group of paid actors. Not that I disagree with the message, but I'll not be snowed by someone talking about willful ignorance while she's counting on the...

I'll try that some other time. Right now I'm not using a chopping block, once I shoot them I'm doing it right on the ground. I think next time I'm going to be using a noose instead of the nails some people use, on a section of 2x4.

hmmm. Mine won't stay still long enough to make the kill without being held in place. I always wonder if other people just have a magic touch or something. Anyway, your machete sounds great, I always think of the cheap ones they sell in hardware stores, fine for certain things, but I wouldn't...

May I suggest an axe? I'm shooting them in the back of the head, then decapitating, since I have an injured arm and can't hold them still enough to do the job with just the axe. But the axe (hatchet, really) is heavier than the machete, and as such, it can be swung more slowly, and thus more...
