When I read that article, many years ago, about Trichinosis from cougar jerky, I figured that there was an interesting banjo backstory to it. Your description sounds about right, but so wrong. What kind of expert hunter doesnt know about cooking temperatures and dangers? The jerker even had the confidence to share the jerked contagion with his previous friends, that sound like about 10% of the town, and likely very related! More than one way to cook a cougar There is even a cooking video showing the steps to cook a present cougar, though it looks pretty tough when they slice it for serving. Looks like another application for sous vide to me.
There are even recipe pages that include instruction for two methods for skinning the cat!
