they are pretty good barbecued though, even still, or stewed
plus their furs are nice, even common, plain types have quite soft fur that you can stitch together some nice trims on stuff... i met this girl once who had spent a year out in the wilds and i guess she was snaring wild ones, they are common in australia, and made herself a bunch of nice things, fuzzy bracers, trimmings on a sheepskin jacket... even some you can actually shear them and keep them until they are much older and fine for being a pet
