Soul...lots of people come from humble beginnings. They develop a taste for "wild" meat.
When those people "make it" in life and can afford the finer things, doesn't mean they should give up on things they enjoyed when they weren't.

Yup, that's so true. I remember this family, dirt poor, but then came in to some money. But they sure kept a hankering for their traditional food.

Oh, they ate traditional Ozark mountain "vittles." The elder family member, her specialty dishes heavily featured hunted game and wild critters, including possum, squirrel, raccoon, rabbit, and crawdads.

Now they didn't have internet forums back in the day, but it sure raised some eyebrows with the upscale neighbours...

I guess I must come from generations of Western Washington hillbillies then. I just don't get the attitude that those who choose to eat wild meat are to be criticized for it. Seems like it's easy in our sanitized world to forget where our food comes from. People don't want to think about their steak, burger, hot dog, or chicken nugget having a 'momma', but that's reality.
