Arthur Boyt is a 78-year-old man with an unusual appetite. He likes to eat roadkill.
Arthur has been dining on run-over animals for years, but this Christmas, he will be eating a farm-raised turkey for the first time just like the rest of us.
Interestingly enough, it isn’t the taste that has made him reconsider his holiday menu but rather some run-ins with the law.
As it turns out, some of the animals Arthur has scavenged in the past have not been exactly legal to collect or eat.
Conservationists approached Arthur to let him know that the sperm whale and dolphin he had reportedly eaten in the past were actually instances of breaking the law.
This year, Arthur’s family will be happy to have him join them for their more traditional meal. Of course, the conservationists will also be pleased by Arthur’s choice to give the roadkill a rest.
