Hello Dale,
carnivores are not numerous, which may be one reason they don't
turn up frequently on the dinner table though their furs are certainly
common... however, at least one plio-pleistocene case of hyper-vitaminosis
(A) in an African hominid is suspected to result from eating carnivore
livers and resulted in death. I can hunt down the reference if you like...
