Big plate of trichinosis. No thanks. I’ll pack the hide and skull out with a smile on my face though. Eating cats and dogs. I’ll leave that for 3rd world countries.
I agree with this all the way,cats may eat fresh meat most of the year.But I'm sure there is some winter months they will eat anything.

Salmon eat meat their entire lives as well and are typically full of parasites.  If you want to eat it raw, it has to be frozen to -4 or cooked and that doesn't seem to bother many people.  Exact same thing with pork and chicken.  Most meat has some safety concern and if you grew up eating it you likely don't spend much time thinking about it.

So your really comparing salmon to cougar meat .Every meat has a safety concern but I will take the plate of salmon over cougar any day.

Cougar is the other white meat. John Fuller helped me get a cougar in 92/93. When the other hounds men asked if I wanted the meat I hesitated for a minute I thought they were going to fight over it. I told them I would keep the meat. Great eating. I had a multi cultural cook out at my house. Cougar was the favorite of the crowd.

Now along time ago, I was going through the five week Winter Phase of the Northern Warfare Training Center's  (NWTC) Instructors Qualification Course (IQC) AT Fort Greely, AK (wow that was long) the NCOIC of the Black Rapids Training Site had eaten the liver of a Lynx and got deathly ill I believe he a eventually got through the ordeal. So, Don't eat cat livers. I on the positive side I also completed the six weeks Summer Phase NWTC IQC. Enjoy your cougar. Also legend has it as one of the preferred meats of the mountain men, in case it was not mentioned I didn't read through the other posts. 
There are only so many sunrises left.
