Well PB I'm a fan of. Bacon always felt overrated to me, it's not filling enough. It's like thin salty crisps of meat.

I want this said in my eulogy:
In his final hours, he looked like "thin salty crisps of meat."
Aight, I'm out

I don’t think I could ever give up pork to many of my fave dishes have pork in it. I wanted a pet pig but then I’m like “ does that mean I have to stop eating pork?”

Dinothechameleon, you seem to be a very bright young person. I ask you to take some time and view whom you consider and call “friend”, a “friend” whom you says shares love for Chameleons then sends you photos of them being fattened for consumption, states his whole family eats them and they torture them so they taste better. To me, this sounds like a punk who is stirring up your reaction for his/her personal entertainment. Be smart and avoid people like that, they don’t deserve a second of your time.
As for eating chameleons, that truly does sound awful, especially when posted in a Chameleon forum that everyone here is an avid loving owner’s of one or ten. I’m sure you can understand why this would be a sensitive topic.
Collecting and eating invasive species is a way to reduce the population without needless waste. A good example is the Burmese Python in Florida, although many don’t like eating them, their numbers are affecting the natural habitat for many other domestic animals. Florida has a huge problem with many invasive species from land, sea and air. Their government encourages capture and irradiation of them.
Chameleons like many others there are sadly caught and killed, dumped into trash bags by game officials. Some are used for testing to understand their growth and population. Hobbyists like to go out and collect them to resell in the pet industry, but even those are not welcomed due to parasites and other diseases.
As for eating a Chameleon, well I know many cultures and few would find them appetizing due to their lack of meat. As for torturing to enhance flavor, sounds more of a personal belief then any one specific culture I know of.
Our modern society allows us to go to a grocery store and buy prepared meat, perfectly sliced and packaged. We tend to ignore the processes that animal goes though to get onto our plate. More and more of the younger generation don’t even cook their own food anymore. When was the last time you beheaded, gutted and plucked tonight’s dinner?
As a hunter myself, I teach my children to respect all life. Do not needlessly kill or torture anything we don’t have to.

This is why I want to learn to hunt. For food, it's the most reasonable thing. Rather than buying factory farmed meat or expensive free ranged.

Or just learn to have a Guinea pig bin right next to the dubia bin like the rest of us. Its surprisingly hard to keep a large group of rabbits from killing each other...
