Apparently field mice with a diet of rice, corn and sugar-cane are vastly different "animals" than their city dwelling brethrens.

    Well this is kinda easy to understand even as a westerner; you probably consider a gray/flecked pigeon as a something more or less dirty, but a white dove is the sign of purity and whatnot.

    Exactly the same animal, just different colouring.

    Somehow we just think eating French fries off the ground makes pigeons dirty but doves eating insects is completely fine.

    Pigeons are done so dirty it's so sad.

    I mean I also would like if they didn't cover everything in pewp en masse, preferably, but otherwise they're beautiful animals that aren't the "flying rats" people have dubbed them as.

    I think anything will be considered more clean, appealing, and less gross when it isn't being forced to scrounge around a nasty toxic concrete city habitat for scrap sustenance, but what do I know. Lol

    house mice, might carry diseases, probably best not to eat them, as they eat nasty stuff too.

    I know lots of small game hunters in the U.S. and it's very much the same. Try to avoid taking game close to human developments as they'll feed on trash and it can lead to issues like overpopulation and disease.

    Taking game from wild areas means the animal has had to hunt and forage to survive leading to a healthier population and healthier harvest.
