<strong>First English settlers in North America ate dogs to survive</strong>
"Archaeologists excavated about 181 canine bones in Jamestown – representing at least 16 dogs that lived between 1607 and 1617 AD.
The dog remains showed evidence of bone modifications “consistent with human skinning, skeletal disarticulation, and meat removal” – meaning they were consumed by the colonists."

@bibliolater @archaeodons @histodon @histodons @earlymodern If I recall correctly, Lewis, Clark & Co. ate dogs on their journey from the Missouri to the Pacific. Horses as well.
