I knew they would try and blame Bush.
Some guy in NY was on the radio on Friday saying that it is common for Africans to smuggle bush meat into the US in their luggage.
Multiculturalism... whoo hoo.
I flipped up the antenna on the trailer this weekend to see how many local channels there are... about 40. Half are spanish speaking, the other quarter or so are chinese or vietnamese with the balance being some form of Engrish or Ghetto or something. A few movie and oldies rerun channels.... The point being, these tribes that come here don’t intend to assimilate into the melting pot of the United States, they just live here. Some pay taxes and almost all are on the gimmedat side of society.
This is the enviro-nazis dream diet of “eating local.” The rest of us don’t see the charm in eating bats and monkeys as sources of protein.
Did Andrew Zimmern ever partake?
It’s a floor wax AND a desert topping.
Why is the phrase “bushmeat” used, instead of game? A translation of the common African terms?
My father grew up putting bushmeat on the table for his family, deer, rabbit, squirrel.
Maybe bushmeat means animals you really shouldn’t hunt because they’re too likely to cause disease, like primates or bats. Of course, our game might have tularemia, or chronic wasting disease - squirrel brains, anyone?
None of my cats would eat this stuff!
The story I heard was the kid was bitten by a bat. The liberals need to get their stories straight.
If it was trained bushmeat...why didn’t the cooking kill the virus?
Hey didn’t we see this movie, and wasn’t Gwyneth Paltrow the cause?
The more food used for ethanol in gas means more bushmeat required in Africa.
The eco-nazis score another hit in their effort to protect nature by eliminating humanity.
So a bunch of bone-through-the-nose barbarians chow down on road kill and the world dies of plague. Isn’t cultural equivalence grand?
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Unnnngg Bat meat.
BATMEAT and BUSHMEAT stop eating that trash!!! Fer Petes sake!!! How foolish are these people?
NOTE that disease ridden fruit bats are the Ebola reservoir that never dies. Bats are immune to Ebola and just about everything. They live in caves piled high with their feces. Which are a disease generation machine
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
