After reading the "Has anyone eaten Bobcat?" thread I'm wondering if thee are any wild animals that you cannot eat? Not that you won't but you can comment on that but are there any you just simply cannot eat for health reasons?

Greenland shark, colossal squid apparently have ammonia content in their meat that makes them inedible. Those are the only ones I know but there’s got to be some poisonous bugs out there.

In Iceland they actually eat the Greenland shark. They ferment it. Looks pretty gross.

Maybe as far as local buzzards you couldn't eat. I know nothing else eats them, even other buzzards when they are dead. Although I've also seen where nothing will eat a bell pepper and we eat those. I've tested the BP theory out before and everything around it was eaten but the actual BP.

ETA: I'm of course not 100% sure on the BP part and I'm rambling about something that has nothing to do with this thread since we eat those. I do know in my garden also, I never have issues with anything eating the actual bell peppers, only the leaves, with the exception of maybe insects.

ETA 2: Obviously I'm wrong on the bell pepper theory

I had a Jack Russell terrier that would eat a bell pepper.

That sucker would eat a head of lettuce if it fell on the floor.

How could you kill and clean a skunk without getting that nasty arse smell on everything! I’d have to soak it in the river for a couple months to see if that smell was gone.

There is video on YouTube,guy named Shawn Woods cooked a skunk and tried to eat it,spit it out,Said it tasted like a skunk smells,he cooked a wood rat ,said it was good,
I tasted the shark in Iceland when I was stationed there,it was bad.What they do is wrap it in parchment paper and bury it for 6 months.Had girlfriend and went to eat with her family,she asked me if I wanted to try it. She warned me I might not like it,said it was an acquired taste.I have never figured out why they would eat it enough times to acquire a taste for it.

Surströmming Is sour herring and the smell is so bad that a can of it can’t be open indoors. Instant puke?

Good thing 95 percent of the population is genetically unsusceptible to contracting it.

Today I drove by two vultures eating a dead possum.

I would not eat a vulture.
