There was a time when beef was on very short supply in my place and we had donkey meat that tasted just like beef. The world is cruel, animals eat animals and we eat them too. Don't make a big fuss about people eating animals, most animals on this planet including ourselves are to be eaten. We got lucky with evolution. Maybe in distance future we all eat tubes of synthetic food paste but right now some of us eat meat and some don't. Unless you are eating the last of a species or something like decimating a species, I have no problem with you.
I've heard that snakes when cooked well, tastes like chicken neck. I never had a taste.
