[AlpacaTalk] Re: [Alpaca meat
First of all Don, Thank you for the support on the alpaca meat eating
issue. Secondly, I did eat an alpaca and it tasted very good. It
was not my alpaca and it will never be my alpaca. It was an alpaca
that was very mean at another farm and he could not be contained and
was out to hurt someone. Although we want to think they are all
sweet and cuddly there are a few that are high spirted alpacas. He
was on his way to being down. There are quite a few farms that don't
want to admit it, but the day will come when alpacas will be eaten.
My husband was approched by the owner asking if he wanted the alpaca
as my husband knew a butcher that could handle it. There were several
people that actually ate it and yes they have alpacas too. There is
talk of larger farms already selling males for meat. When and if my
husband ever decides he wants to purchase alpacas for slaughter they
will not come to our farm. They will be transported directly to the
meat locker. I'm sorry for those of you that choose not to eat
alpaca, but please dont condem those that do. Thirdly, when doing
business with North of the Rock Alpacas everything is up front. If I
buy a male from you it won't be to eat, I will be using it in my
breeding program. If my husband buys your alpaca it will be because
you contacted him to sell your alpaca because you have too many on
your farm. It was in bad taste on Linda's part to accuse me of doing
bad business- by warning people to be VERY careful when doing
business with me. Shame on you!!
