    Before even watching the video, I'm just throwing in my 2 cents. My brother-in-law likes to catch blackbears and enjoys their meat. I personally think it tastes like shit. And bears are omnivorous. Something that just eats meat probably tastes even worse, or is just stringy and tasteless.

    Couldn't it be that we farm animals which eat what we won't/can't. Cows, sheep, and goats eat grass which we can't digest. Pigs are happy eating scraps. Chickens and trout love worms and bugs I've had bear and cougar and they're tasty! But they were hunted, not farmed. Why feed a cougar a chicken when you could just eat the chicken?

    Huh, seems ya'll are missing two BIG parts of this. Nutrients - as animals eat different grasses and process those nutrients for us that we can't eat ourselves directly, we get a lot of that from the meat. This is why you can't feed lions in captivity the same meat all the time - like cow. They get malnourished. Now that we have a HUGE array of foods from all over the world it's not really an issue but long ago we could get more needed nutrients through meat when we didn't have enough greens. Long ago we ate wild animals too, not animals eating only one mix of grain /grass. The other is bacteria /worms. We know that religions get many food based rules based on good practice, like not eating pork in hot countries where that deadly worm flourishes.

    Add someone else mentioned Canada does count wildfires as part of its national emissions, just not as manmade carbon emissions. There's tons of article from official Canadian sources concerned about how the wildfires will affect Canada annual carbon output so it was a little inaccurate to say Canada doesn't count it.

    So much denial in the comments. There isn’t a single person on this planet who would truly be happy being with only 1 person. The idea that we as humans expect our significant other to be attracted to us and ONLY us is the most narcissistic and egotistical idea imaginable. We share 99% of our DNA with chimps but we’re so civilized that we don’t need the most fundamental of desires apparently. Pretty soon humans will be claiming they don’t need food or sleep. 😂
