Hi Mark, yes I do know chi's have no fear as I have one that totally does not know her size. She is one I must watch constantly. It is such a surprise to find out people eat bear. I never even imagined that. I can imagine wolves eating bear, that seems normal. I think I will stick to "normal" meat though. Thanks for the info!

I have a friend who bow hunts black bear in Colorado every year. I would assume Chi's or all dogs would eat bear. I do know a Chi will go after a bear. Last year in Colorado one owner was waken at night by her Chi who was barking at a bear the entered her home. You will read all of the time that there are Chi's with no fear. ________________________________ From: Evelyn Quintana <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 4:53 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Question on food Rebecca, this may sound like a stupid question but....bear? Do some people eat bear? Do dogs? I surely didn't know that.

As for pork, this has been a huge topic on the raw list! Pork in the US is fine. There is no longer trichinosis in farm raised pigs. Now as for wild boar and bear this is a different story. BUT freezing gets rid of it. Unless your getting wild game from very cold regions. Then it can have a cold temp resistant tric. In it. But as I don't get wild game this isn't a concern of mine lol But pork heart and tongue are a huge part of my guys diet Rebecca Sent from my iPhone On Jan 23, 2012, at 6:51 PM, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: >I'd like to know how you are able to grind the stuff up really well.. >Especially if there are bones like chicken or pork in there...
