Your message was found to be violating the following section of the TOS:
Offensive Material -Users may not transmit or encourage others to transmit material or links to material considered patently offensive in nature. This includes, but is not limited to using vulgar, profane, or sexually explicit language; using race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, handicap, nationality, or gender as a means of insult; using threatening, harassing, defamatory, hate-speech, or libelous language; and posting, requesting, or otherwise sharing material considered pornographic, obscene, graphic, or hate speech.
Some additional notes on the Offensive rule:
Using terms for homosexuality as a means of insult in any way towards anyone or anything is considered offensive. This includes insinuating certain people (including video game characters) are homosexual in an insulting way, calling things "gay" as a synonym for "stupid", or using offensive slang terms for homosexuals.
Discussion of rape or incest should remain serious; jokes or humor about rape are generally considered patently offensive.
Several other words and terms are flagged by the site censor when a message is posted, and users are clearly warned about the connotation and use of these words on the site. Failing to abide by the warning presented is a clear violation.
Links to sites with content that violates these terms are not permitted. Warning users about offensive content in a link does not grant permission to post that link.
Links to images or sites displaying images with nudity, near-nudity (i.e. see-through clothing, very skimpy coverings), or depictions of such are not permitted.
Images or descriptions of sexual acts, genatalia, or clearly graphic material (shock images, defecation) are considered offensive as well.

I'm surprised that this was deemed offensive at all, let alone offensive enough to be moderated. These links are no more offensive than links to recipes featuring any other, more frequently-consumed animal. Unless there's something I missed in the links I posted, like outgoing links within those links to truly offensive sites, I don't see how these are offensive whatsoever.

Talking about cooking animals? I don't think so...

I believe that this moderation is in error, as explained by my contest, and I think the reason for upholding the moderation is ludicrous. It is equivalent to saying that preparing a hamburger is offensive. There is even a board on this site dedicated to food, and all the activities surrounding it, including cooking.
Victoly!:

Reasonable enough. My apologies.
