Pork meat is not bad for dogs if cooked, but raw meet of any type from the store can be a killer. We had a dog get samonella from a soup bone. Spices and processed meat like ham can cause problems also. If you kill and process venison in a sanitary manner, here in the upper Midwest, there is little chance of any problems. We lost 4 dogs (2 German Shepards and 2 Norwegian Elk Hounds) of old age at 14 to 15 years old after a long life of eating uncooked venison carcasses and scrap meat and bones. Our current dogs (1 German Shepard and 1 Great Pyrenees) are over 10 and doing fantastic on the same diet. Livestock fed antibiotics are less likely to cause harm than those which are not rid of pathogens killed by these drugs. If you think "all-natural" is safer, good luck! I like my expected life span better than those eating an "all-natural" diet even 100 years ago. Neopaganism is your perogative though since we all have freedom of religion in the the free world.
