How many people in the USA eat bushmeat? Deer, hog, dove, quail etc.. I wouldn’t eat venison that someone else processed and cooked if you held a gun to my head

The problem isn’t “bush meat” but “bat meat”. Just don’t eat the flying rats!

Am I to believe that animals can transmit the ebola virus?
More reason to isolate and observe Ms. Pham’s pet dog.

Statists’ latest attempt to ban all hunting? You KNOW the Feds would love to do it here in America. Hunting is a “gateway drug” to knowledge of guns, consideration of armed self-defense, living independently, and preparedness, which are all things FedGov is diametrically opposed to.

But these flying rats feed mainly on flying prey like mosquitoes.
Does this mean that ebola can be spread by insects like malaria can?

Pork is easy to raise and is healthy....but they are Moose Limbs. Actually, pork could be a problem. Pigs do get Ebola, and bats often live near pig farms.

That’s all well and good. I didn’t say that I don’t eat venison, i just prefer my own. When someone gives me venison, it usually goes in the pressure cooker and ends up dog food

That reminds me of the time my dad had a job running a boiler so that they could render fat down to pet food. Stinky!!

The problem isnt bush meat but bat meat. Just dont eat the flying rats!HIV is believed to have been transmitted to humans from an infected ape (SIV) when it was butchered for bush meat.

Bushmeat?, There is no helping these people, that is a sad statement but I just don't see it. This picture is bad enough. I saw one that was just heartbreaking. Two monkeys that apparently were killed in captivity, terrified and hugging each other, cooked while still in their embrace. It will haunt me.

I did not know that you could get obola from bushmeat. I thought all you could get was salmoneggs.

That ain’t what I heard. I heard it was monkeys and what some of the goatherders were doing with/to the monkeys. I guess it was pretty lonely out there in the Veldt.

And apes and monkeys are so genetically close to humans that we should expect to get diseases from them.
Oh, and BTW, Liberians are predominately (85%) Christian.

I have lots of bushmeat, and Ive never gotten a disease. Unlike many folks though, I get it from the same woman.
ROTFLMAO! You made me spray perfectly good IPA all over my monitor! YOU OWE ME!
