Man, I'd had my old avatar for ages. It was time for a change.

It's a bison, a close relative of the cow once found in massive numbers on the plains of North America. They were nearly hunted into extinction in the 19th century (at least in the US, the damage may have been less extensive in Canadia) but still survive in some places.
It was pretty extensive here too. But we still have wild bison in Manitoba, so that's pretty cool. (And partly why I'm so fond of them.)

There are at least enough of them now to make burgers from.

Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

Little known fact:
Bison burgers are exclusively the domain of specialized hunters. They shoot the bison, carve out a few burgers, and leave the remainder of the bison to rot in the plains.
It's nature's way!

Me too! We must all have exceptional taste when it comes to tv shows.

Really? Here we raise them specially for meat.

As for North Americans, it is mostly common knowledge I think?
It's also common knowledge in Europe.
Apropos common knowledge: Someone explain me the six-legs-fly reference.
I was going to make several negative/disgusted/ridiculous comments about that poster.
And then I saw the Oom-Paw-Paw part.
Well done Prarie Feline Fanciers*. Well played.
*Even remarking that this sounds really creepy is somehow trumped by that pun.
also post pictures of your cats muezza must be huge and richard also large
Oh dear. I don't think I can, but I can see if I know anyone going. Also Muezza is still very tiny, she just went to the vet today, and they told me she is the only cat regularly brought in who is not overweight. Richard is slightly larger, I'll try to post some pics soon.
