Now I'm not one to go off on a tirade every time PETA does something stupid. If I did I'd have to be restrained almost daily. I am, however, one who relishes doing things that would infuriate any self-righteous PETA member.

To that end, I present my list of 33 animals (that you probably haven't thought about eating) that are fairly easy to obtain in the United States without even having to go hunting - animals that you can cook, grill, jerk, smoke, stew or fry to your heart's content and PETA can't do a damn thing about it!

2. Antelope
3. Bison
4. Buffalo
5. Capon (Rooster)

If you're a Meatatarian that wants to know exactly where that juicy steak you're grilling came from, you're in luck!

A new law is in effect as of September 30th that requires food manufacturers and grocery stores to label the country of origin of their meat products.

Of course there are some loopholes in the whole system... like what do you do with imported livestock that's been shipped to the US for immediate slaughter? You label it US!

And for some meat, such as hamburger patties, you might see multiple countries listed if the cuts are combined from different countries.
