Is meat for an older or a younger animal more tender?

It depents from the kind of animal. Usually the animal needs to be more to the adult fase, like chicken for ex. if its going to be young the meat is going to be very hard and its not going to be cooked very well. if though Lamp is under 1 year old its very tasty. Always depents from who is cooking it and how.. One think is for sure. don't eat anything that is over 12 years old....
