Yeah, didn't I read somewhere that they are adding an ability for hunter pets to eat carcasses to regain health? My guess is this is simply an animation for the bear PET to eat a carcass. Not for a druid to eat or fish... which makes no sense.

Bears are on the Tenacity tree, while the carcass eating talent is on Cunning. so this can't be.

Beef: It makes more sense than you might think. After all, Feral Druids in Bear or Cat form can now drink potions without having to revert to Caster form. Drinking isn't exactly a far cry from eating, in terms of character animations.

I have 2 70 druids (horde and alliance), I know how they work. ;)

Being able to drink pots will be nice for sure, and I guess if we get to eat while in forms it makes sense to have an animation. However, it doesn't really make sense for fishing since you don't immediately eat the fish after you catch it. It shows up in the popup window then you decide to put it in your inventory or not take it at all -- you don't just eat it. So, that's where my hang up lies, primarily.

Regardless of what it's used for it's certainly nice to see some more animations added.
