worst case...you got lots to mince up...or caserole. try beating it up with steak hammer before cooking,it helps no end having it sort of prechewed LOL.

you can now make that 4 animals..... the only thing I can put it down to is animal doing it harder than normal and in decline rather than putting on condition.... also strangely this one had yellowish membrane between muscle groups...maybe been scoffing lotus major flowers and the rapidly growing fern shoots????
I still havent had anyone else tell me they have seen the same thing.
