My Priest explained to me the reason for not eating “warm-blooded” animals during lent started because people were not suppose to have a special food on friday during lent. Since most people were fishermen and fish was in abundance, fish was considered the “non-special” food of the time and “warm-blooded” animals were considered a treat.
