Sorry once again ! I was told this by a zoologist at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago and he may have been refering to beef which is what he fed the big cats , saying that if they would eat it cooked he would not have to feed them as much , so it could have some fact in it ! But I do believe its the enzymes in raw that makes it more digestible which maybe he wasnt taking into account! Beside I beleive he should have stayed as close to thier natural diet as possible!
