"Authorities at Detroit Metropolitan Airport confiscated bushmeat twice within one week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in an Aug. 20 news release.
The bushmeat seized by CBP agents last month included 11 pounds of rodent meat from Togo, in West Africa, and 52 pounds of primate meat, declared as antelope, from Gabon, in Central Africa. The travelers also had additional, undeclared agricultural items in their possession.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bushmeat has the potential to spread diseases like Ebola due to hunting, butchering, and processing meat from infected animals.
Detroit officials previously seized bushmeat in March, according to an agency Facebook post. In that instance, agents discovered partially dried goat meat with intact jawbones and tongues.
It’s estimated to make up between 80-90% of animal protein intake in rural regions of West and Central Africa"
Jesus Christ. Monkeys eating monkeys?
Why are these filthy animals even allowed to enter the US ? They aren't even human.
