Why Alliance Hunters should get familiar with the Ironforge meat vendor 

Sognar Cliffbeard is a particularly valuable NPC for Alliance Hunters (Dwarves and Night Elves) as they need to stock up on meat to feed their pets. In Classic WoW, the varying types of Hunter pets have different diets, and many of them need to be satiated with meat from time to time to keep them happy. Keeping your pet happy with meals is a surefire way to make sure your DPS doesn’t fall off and is a critical piece of management when playing a Hunter. 

Almost every Hunter pet in the game (with the exception of Bats, Turtles, Gorillas, Crabs, Tallstriders, and Wind Serpents) will benefit from eating meat.
