RE: Chuck/Emu Oil :)

[Guest guest]

Hi Chuck.....all,

 

The Emu, I've seen many web sites on the Emu, and in all of the one's

I've seen, the poor things are killed. And they also showed how they're

raised primarily for the oil......but, yes, you're right, they also sell

the the jerky, and the meats, sometimes even the eggs....... on the same

sites.....Basically, they're a bird that looks similar to an

ostrich...but has oil?

Here's some of the farm-sites here:

Question on Emu oil:

 

'They' say they extract the oil from a gland on the Emu. I heard the

best

way to get the most out of a bird is to render them. I guess that is

why

you can buy Emu jerky from some of the places that sell the oil. If

this is

wrong, please let me (us) know. Emu is a great oil but not at the price

of

a life (unless it was shooting at me). The best substitute I know is

Tamanu

oil, esp for eczema.

Thanks Marilyn! I was sure the gland extraction thing was a

little 'looney.'
