Bushmeat, you see: Rodents = rabies. Viral mutating diseases are quite the rage these days. Look in any newspaper.
Stick to chicken and beef.
It should be noted that there has NEVER, EVER, been one reported case of a squirrel having rabies.......
Why you ask? Because a squirrel is a food source to carnivores higher up in the food chain (if they can be caught) and any squirrel caught by a rabid animal would be eaten..........
