Actually, these exotic meats pose a significant problem to our domestic food chain. Everything from African swine fever and Foot and Mouth disease can be transmitted from foreign meats that are not from approved and reputable sources. Armadillos carry Leprosy, rats...lassa fever and a myriad of togaviruses, reptiles...parasites that will kill humans if eaten even slightly uncooked.

These places should be dealt with harshly and rapidly IMHO.

I'm with you. Unfortunately, some think any law at all is an intrusion of rights and freedoms.

Hoof-and-mouth disease is what happens to food animals. Foot-in-mouth is an affliction that visits people. ;)
