Mostly they are. I remember one radio talk-show host telling us his wife brought and orange back from Europe and they made her throw it away................

It would be nice to encourage these folks to consume more raccoon. There is one animal that would be very difficult to overhunt, and it would really benefit birds like quail and turkey if raccoon was hunted more intensively.

We have plenty of cane rats down in Florida, and invasive pythons and iguanas too...maybe encourage a market in those.

Iguanas make for a good meal. Very tasty meat.

Trump, man up, declare a National Security Emergency, and “pause” all immigration indefinitely.

“Nevertheless, bushmeat is an essential element of West African diets. One study estimated that in some regions, bushmeat constitutes 80–90% of animal protein intake”

Absolutely can confirm. Having worked in Congo and the DRC plus Gabon doing oil and hard rock geology mainly cobalt and gold. Every one eats bushmeat its is the norm not the outlier. Jo Berg even has markers where you see it , technically illegal but a blind eye is turned to it.

Yes they do, in the Yucatan they make tamales out of them or mole or grill them and pull it like pork for tacos. Florida has such a problem with them they are trying to get people to hunt and eat them in Florida too.

That’s because in their homeland they can’t afford our kinds of meat.

Hey Jambo, you’re in America now. Food of all kinds is cheap.

Have some beef, chicken, turkey, pork or lamb! Maybe elk, moose, venison, duck, rabbit or squirrel if your so inclined to hunt for it with a proper license. No monkeys, no rats. Otherwise get out!
