Yes,

A lot of people know I cook "unusual' foods as a hobby and often gift me with 
this creature or that creature. You are right in that animal gifts always 
come whole. I should have been suspicious when the gift was nicely boned and 
cubed. However, I really had no cause for suspicion because these same folks 
had given me assorted animals in the past. I thought they were just being 
'nice' by preparing it in advance.

Regarding your questioning the way the animal may have been obtained, I was 
taught to never look a gift horse in the mouth, so I don't. The military 
admonition of 'Don't ask; don't tell; don't pursue' is a wise one. It makes 
for a saner life.
