Since I have kids, I don't have much in the way of toxic plants- I mean the human kind of kids.
We also have two goats-a wether and a buck(billie)-and they will eat anything. They have even tried to eat the lining from the deck of the roof, and end up getting into a tug-of-war. They have eaten my persimmon tree to roots so many times, I can't believe it's still alive. Chris has put chicken wire around a lot of the trees, but nothing is safe from the goats. They've turned my rosebush into a topiary, etc. We know that we shouldn't feed dog food to the goats, but they get into the poor dog's food if she doesn't eat it all. I've seen them eat a hot dog! I know that high protein can cause heart disease in goats, but ours are the healthiest goats you ever saw! And also long in the tooth. I wish I had a video of this, but our buck walks around on his front feet only, like a circus animal. We have asked the vet about it, but he assures us that the buck's hooves are sound. He feels that the buck probably did have an injury in his youth, and just picked up the habit.
Both goats are named (Remington and Pockets), so I could never eat one. We also have a lot of chickens. I told Chris I could not eat named chickens, so if we are going to eat them, they have to be nameless. My MIL wrecked the chance we had at eating the turkey-named her "Lois". The rabbit-same story.
There are some livers that you should never eat. Arctic fox liver is toxic and fatal to humans in very small amounts. It's probably a good idea to avoid all carnivore livers for that reason. Not that I could bring myself to eat a cat...
Now that you guys are totally grossed out...
Nice evening in Idaho,
