Here we go again.

Do NOT EAT the BATS!

[Col Frank Slade]

Try to avoid eating bats might be a good place to start.

[dfwgator]

Trump’s fault for gutting USAID.

[jimtorr]

It’s the Congo. This sort of unexpected disease outbreak is expected.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

What a shame.

The Congo has given so much to mankind. /s

[monkeyshine]

Oh, sure, they ate a bat. They didn’t cook it first? Batshimi? Batsushi? Bat soup?

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Another Bill Gates production?

[Bob434]

I like to,let bats bite me as many 5imes as possible because ya just never know when one might have rabbies. Liberal “logic”. Bats, it’s what’s for dinner!

[Qwapisking]

they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, but even Haitians know better than eating the bats.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Just when I thought it was safe to eat bat soup again—sigh!

[blackdog]

That must have been a slim picnic. Fifty people ate a bat? A bat typically weighs from seven grams to three pounds for the biggest species. The larger the species, the fewer in number.

[blackdog]

Waiting for it.....

Cuts in USAID have resulted in bio-lab releases of pandemic diseases.

[NativeSon]

betcha a dollar the media will push that

[heartwood]

There are cultural taboos regarding animals and meat all over the world.

Jews don’t eat pork.

The Navajo shun mice, bad luck and illness.

Feral dogs ate kept at a distance.

Strict bat avoidance would go a long way.

[dfwgator]

Of course they will. Anything bad that happens in the world will be blamed on Trump.

[spincaster]

Mystery illness? They ate a Bat for Fu@k sake!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Oh oh. Time for Congoleums (sp) to “migrate” to Joe Pedo’s Amerika or they’re all gonna die. American bats are in big trouble. Just read they are having problems with Monkeypox also.

[HYPOCRACY]

The local gain of function lab must have been serving bat soup.

But that same CBS is ignoring the story in the Republic of Congo where 70 Christians were found beheaded in a church. That story is ignored because the perpetrators were Muslim.
