What cultural movement encourages the consumption of muntjac in the UK?
Answer
The 'eat them to beat them' mantra for population control.
The promotion of eating muntjac is strongly tied to its ecological status in the UK, where it is considered an invasive species introduced from Asia. This has led to a cultural movement adopting the slogan 'Eat them to beat them.' The underlying principle is that increased human consumption serves as a practical method for managing and controlling the established, sometimes problematic, populations of these deer. Controlling their numbers is necessary because they can inflict significant damage on ground flora and impact local biodiversity in woodlands.
