eating what we harvest

Many don't want to kill anything they don't eat. On that note , have you ever eaten Coyote? I KNOW ITS A very common idea you can't , is there a reason why? I mean we eat other predators and some even mighty tasty. Like Shark, Mt Lion even bear. Now with that in mind why is it we don't coyote. Its early forgive the dumb question... OK and don't even ask about skunk...L.O.L.

When you catch coyote, you skin it and sell it. If you take the money you get for the pelt and buy milk, bread and eggs you are , in fact, eating the coyote. It provides you and your family with nourishment just as if you took a big ol' bite out of its nasty, stinky leg and swallowed that instead.

On a historical note, when the Donner party was stranded in the winter of 1846/1847 they had a 100 lb barrel of coyote meat with them. When the survivors were rescued in the spring there was still 98 lbs left in the barrel. I suppose that given the choice I'd prefer to eat my family members too.
