"Cat-like civets are captured in the wild and served as a delicacy at restaurants in Viet Nam and China. "
Killer kitty kung pao!
LOL
During the Viet Nam war, a friend was in Cambodia, he said they had been there for weeks and at last came to a friendly village, who was preparing a feast for the Army men.
LOL....he said they planed on serving monkey, had it all dressed and on the roof of the grass huts........
To him they looked like human babies.
This man would eat anything, but he said he had skipped the monkey meat, after seeing them.
In typical Army supply fashion, they did the last part of the "teaching/spying" trip on Peanut Butter and Canned Tuna,
for many days.
From the sound of this article, it looks as tho the disease is going from animals to humans and back to the animals.
I would think that would give it lots of chance for mutations.
