I know this would vary from locale to locale, but, presumably, there are some animals that do not require a permit to kill (mice in mouse traps, for example). How does this work? Is there a list of "always OK to kill" species?

Edit: Thank you everybody for the replies!

Not sure if you're joking but I have seen people eat squirrel IRL.

Squirrel legs prepared like chicken wings are killer.

It's crazy gow many animals do actually taste like chicken

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Rabbit will be about as easy to kill and have more meat on them. Just don't eat only rabbit or you'll have a vitamin deficiency

Eating a rabbit only diet leaves you lacking fat, not vitamins. I mean probably vitamins too but the lack of fat in rabbit meat is what kills people who feed on it exclusively. It's called rabbit starvation or protein poisoning.

It's a fat deficiency. People in arctic climates who eat only rabbits end up dying from Protein poisoning. Oh, oops, someone already said that.

If you intend to eat it, a hunting license is required.

[-] devnull406@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That will vary widely. Near me you can kill as many as you want, it's legal. Now why you wouldn't eat them is beyond me, since they are delicious.
