Well Randy, I think that goes under Urban Myths.
</div>
<div>
In the old days our dogs and cats got to eat whatever and they
</div>
<div>
very much appreciated any chicken, duck or goose bone that came
</div>
<div>
their way. Only when my Aunt visited from Montreal did we learn
</div>
<div>
of the dangers of the bones. And only observed the protocol until
</div>
<div>
she was back on the train. and then dogs, cats and so on got whatever.
</div>
<div>
In fact my grandfather feed live chickens to his foxes without any effects
</div>
<div>
from splinters in their gut!
</div>
<div>
Enjoy the fall!
</div>

Well, there's a subject line you don't see every day.
<div>

I have a borrowed trail cam out and got a nice pic of a coyote; I bait with supper left overs like chicken parts. One person I shared it with was aghast that I would do this..."chicken bones will splinter in their intestines".
</div>
<div>
 
</div>

I can't see this happening...they'll splinter when they're chewed,
<em>maybe (?) </em>a bit more due to the churning of the stomach. The intestine just isn't strong enough to cause splintering. And I have heard not to feed your dog chicken bones because of the threat of splinters. Yet wild animals eat birds all the time, and I have come across scads of scats in my decades in the woods with splintered bone.
</div>
<div>
 
</div>
<div>
Can anyone resolve this conundrum? Why can wild mammals tolerate the bones while domestics (apparently) can not?
</div>

Thanks,
