They misspelled guerrillas

Rebels in eastern Congo have killed and eaten two silverback mountain gorillas, conservationists said Wednesday, warning they fear more of the endangered animals may have been slaughtered in the lawless region.

The rebels need to go back to killing people so the liberals won't get upset.

Tastes like chicken!

"Congo Rebels Said to Kill, Eat Gorillas"...Now there's a paradox!

[Romanov]

Beat me to it!

One day your smooching with a chimp and then the next day you're eating them for supper...

There's nothing going on in Africa that's not heartbreaking.

monkey nuts?

Guerillas eating gorillas? Sounds like backwards evolution!

[alloysteel]

An army travels on its stomach.

When the gorillas are all gone, the army will have to revert to eating other humans.

Good reason to retrieve corpses when the raid is over.

From The Congo Cookbook:

Monkey bushmeat is commonly consumed in tropical Africa. Monkey meat is prepared fresh in rural areas. It is also smoked to preserve it and allow it to be sent to market in the cities. A common sight along rural roads is smoked whole monkeys for sale, tales tied to heads to make carrying handles. Fresh monkey meat is often cooked in a Tomato Sauce made from tomatoes, chile peppers, and onions. Smoked monkey meat can be prepared in a Tomato-Peanut sauce: Soak the smoked meat in water, then rinse and drain it. Fry tomatoes, onions, chile pepper, in hot palm oil. Add tomato paste and the monkey meat. Simmer until all is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

It's been so, for as long as I can remember.

The same people who are most offended by these guys killing and eating apes are generally the ones who believe in evolution. Wouldn't this be evolution at work - one species displacing another?

Dianne Fossi's turning over in her grave.

Well, that'll get the anti-death peanlty crowd to change their minds if nothing else will.

B oh oh. H oh oh.

Sorry. I mean Dian Fossey.
