Here's an article from one of our rescue partners, Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary, that addresses the topic of squab. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting a "squab", they are incredibly sweet, innocent and vulnerable little beings. I've attached a picture of MickaCoo-rescued squab Butters who wound up as a stray at SFACC in Jan 2010. (He's all grown up into a big man bird now and adopted.) I'd say eating squab is very much like eating a puppy. Pass it on.
Please and thank you.
