Seattle Woman that Eats Squirrels

Meet the middle-aged, middle-class woman who traps, butchers and eats squirrels in her Seattle backyard

Melany Vorass is a 49-year-old college-educated woman living in a middle-class neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.

And in the backyard of her quiet neighborhood home, she traps, drowns and butchers squirrels for her dinner table -- one of her family's principle sources of meat.

Ms Vorass is part of a growing crowd of city-dwellers who are 'foragers' -- living off of greens picked from public parks, fish caught from local streams and mushrooms plucked from nearby forests.

Eating wild squirrel and other game has long been a part of the diet in rural America. But Ms Vorass is taking the age-old practice out of the backwoods and bringing it to the big city.

Her reason: Squirrel is the ultimate local meat.

'I admit I enjoy a juicy cut of prime rib over squirrel, but I find I can no longer eat it without experiencing some feelings of guilt,' she wrote on her blog.

Ms Vorass believes commercial meat is unethical. Cows are raised on inhumane feedlots, butchered in inhumane ways and fed rations of unhealthy and environmentally-damaging antibiotics and feed, she says on her blog Essential Bread.

@Bankallday Eating squirrel is common all over this country (not just the south) and Europe. They're actually good survival food because they're abundant, easy to trap or shoot with a pellet rifle, and there's plenty of meat on them for their size. They're also a calorie dense food, thanks to all the nuts they eat.
