And he was 62 years old and a hunter so you would think he would have heard a story of someone dying from eating squirrel brains which is also something you should never do.
A man in New York developed an extremely rare and fatal brain disorder after he ate squirrel brains, according to a new report of the man's case.
In 2015, the 61-year-old man was brought to a hospital in Rochester, New York, after experiencing a decline in his thinking abilities and losing touch with reality, the report said. The man had also lost the ability to walk on his own.
An MRI of the man's head revealed a striking finding: The brain scan looked similar to those seen in people with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), a fatal brain condition caused by infectious proteins called prions. Only a few hundred cases of vCJD have ever been reported, and most were tied to consumption of contaminated beef in the United Kingdom in the 1980s and 1990s. (In cows, vCJD is commonly called "mad cow disease.")
I beg you. Please do not feed your family this rodent meat.

Do you realize that most tribes that engage in cannibalism never survive more than a couple of generations. Nature has a way of killing creatures who eat the parts of their own kind. The tribe get weaker and weaker with each generation and they have bad neurological problems that makes their lives short. That is why Soylent Green would always fail because it's made from PEOPLE and that would be a great precursor to CJD. Hey, that's not such a bad idea if you needed a way to reduce an over populated country.

I'm swearing off squirrel brains TODAY!
You are lucky you got away with it up to this point.
Can I still eat chipmunk brains?
I wouldn't advise it as someone who has studied up of the topic.
That's what you get if you mess with Rocky. Chip 'n Dale are off limits too.
Any animated rodents need to be OFF the menu. Though that chocolate moose looks pretty tasty.
A man is dying and instead of pointing out his mistake with some sympathy for what he is going through, you insult him. Not very classy.
Yeh, I am a terrible person. You win. I am sure the squirrel brain eaters will celebrate how compassionate you are before they too, die from being a dumbass. See how little your insult means to me.
