Not in New Jersey. The Maasai and Watutsi, and some Ethiopia tribes, bleed their cattle from the neck and mix the blood with milk. Early European travellers to Ethiopia, such as James Bruce, claimed that the Ethiopians, meaning the Amhara, cut slices from the beasts and ate them raw. They do indeed today eat raw beef (kitfo), but it's more like steak tartare - raw minced beef mixed with spices - and I believe they kill the animals first. Here are some nice pictures of cattle: <http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_awSIlZgh6Is/R4INigVFVFI/AAAAAAAAAKo/csHZ0nzTUTQ/s 1600/Africa+Salgado.jpg> <http://p4.focus.de/img/gen/f/e/HBfe0sgk_Pxgen_r_1100xA.jpg> Looking at them, and thinking about the Euro, one wonders who has the correct definition of wealth.
