Tons of 'bushmeat' sneaked into Paris
Game arrives every week, survey finds; experts warn of possible diseases



How about some smoked monkey?

"PARIS — In France, where snails, frogs and horses are commonly eaten, it is perhaps unsurprising that monkey carcasses and preserved porcupines also are available. But this isn't a roadside market in Africa, it's the Chateau Rouge neighborhood in the middle of Paris."

I thought this thread was going to be about Dubya having a cookout.

I knew something like that was coming.

^^ Damned French? It is not the French who are eating them. But yeah, some damned French are probably taking bribes and letting it in.

Some of the comments on the site are LOL-worthy, and some are definitely FACEPALM-worthy. Here are the best:

Quote :

"Europe has shot itself in the foot by allowing the immigration of so many low-IQ savages from Africa. Europe won't even be recognizable as the cradle of Western civilization in a generation or two. Canada and the U.S. are not far behind."

Quote :

""BUSH MEAT SNEAKED INTO PARIS" When I first saw this headline I thought.... "WOW, REGGIE BUSH HOOKED UP WITH PARIS HILTON" "

Quote :

"Do you think that McDonald's is using this stuff? It wasn't that long ago they were caught using Kangaroo meat. If it taste like chicken it is probably in the McNuggets."

Quote :

"It won't be long when, after all the animals have been eaten, people will begin eating people, which might help solve the planets HUMAN OVERPOPULATION Probem. Say!!!! Wait a minute there!!!! Wasn't that a Nostodamus prediction????"

Quote :

"When the colonial powers ruled Africa, there was a high degree of order and civility. In addition, the colonialists were reasonably good stewards of the environment. Since the enlightened liberal establishment in the U.S. forced the colonial powers to cede control to the African blacks, the situation has really gone to hell. The natives now slaughter each other and the remaining whites with machetes, rape among blacks is widespread as black men attempt to cure their AIDS by forcing themselves on virgins, the economies of these liberated nations are in a shambles as these black geniuses mismanage manufacturing and agriculture, and they show the same reverence toward wildlife as they do towards fellow blacks. The entire continent of Africa is a write-off. As men inherit their intelligence from their mothers, Obama (who calls himself black) can thank his mother for his above-average intelligence. His father, a moronic Kenyan Muslim cad, fortunately contributed nothing."

"Sounds like a good title for Steven Kings next apocalyptic novel, "Culturally Sensitive"."

Quote :

"Nina Marano, the chief of the quarantine unit at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said similar underground markets for bushmeat exist across America. "We have to be culturally sensitive and recognize this is important for some African communities," she told The Associated Press. "But there are no regulations for the preparation of meat from wildlife to render it safe." I see, even if a significant portion of that meat is from ENDANGERED ANIMALS and it is ILLEGAL to hunt them? I am so sick and tired of the politically correct nonsense that is spouted by so many people. So then slavery and segregation was culturally important to the South, that probably should have been left alone, as well. I could care less about those contracting illnesses from eating illegal bush meat. They deserve it, it's the animals' revenge."

Quote :

"France says they are having an immigration problem, well, here's their answer. The immigrants will die off from eating this meat. Problem solved."

Quote :

"Maybe they could sent it to Gaza."

Quote :

"This is what results when a country cultivates an immigrant population of barely human savages. Expect the local culture to virtually disappear and quality of life of such countries to deteriorate as these denizens overrun them."

Quote :

"HHHhhMmm? africa was once a bread basket while the whites ran the farms , exporting foods world wide . the lands were takin from them an distributed among idiots whom found that not one african payed any attention on how the farm works . now with that said , they would rather go out an kill endangered animals than" ACTUALLY " work , to grow their own foods .an still chase lions with a stick , cover them selves with cow dung to attrack a wife . an hope for waters to maybe take a shower one day ...let Darwin's law apply here an let the stupids die out soon,,,,, pls !"

Here is another article, and it is quite sad. It clearly shows the source of some/most of that bushmeat entering Europe, as well as portends the annihilation of a particular way of life, that of the Pygmies. (and the annihilation of wildlife)

In Congo forest, bushmeat trade threatens Pygmies
Demand for game meat takes toll on Central African forests

Long, but totally worth a read.

"Some have suffered 90 percent drops in wildlife, stripped so bare, hunters have been reduced to eating their own hunting dogs, says John Hart, an American conservationist who first lived among the Mbuti in the 1970s."
