Lion meat tacos cause uproar in Florida

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/bizarre&id=9095892

TAMPA, Fla. (KABC) -- Exotic meat tacos at a Florida restaurant are causing a big uproar.

The small tacos at Tampa's Taco Fusion restaurant look enticing and many who try them say they are tasty. The meat in question -- lion meat.

It has some people wondering if it's even legal to serve something on the endangered species list.

The specialty tacos cost about $35. The restaurant also serves other exotic meats, such as beaver tacos and camel tacos.

Greetings all- Thank you all for the feedback regarding the lion meat promotion at Taco Fusion™ Some of you were supportive, some of you were angry. We listened to everyone and decided to no longer carry Lion.
