Sounds perfectly reasonable!

The only people that would disagree with it would be....WITCHES and should be stoned!

Sure that's the headline here, but the headline in Congo is:

Source of Ebola Found. Monkey Meat Safe To Eat Once Again!

Just shows you how in the absence of even most basic education people revert to all the primordial fears and instantly evolve to Homo Savagis :grrr:

Why do we spend so much time trying to escape our true nature? It hurts!

Total destruction is the only solution!

But seriously, just think of it, these people go through life thinking there is some witch near their straw hut, it just reminds me of some plague conditions and mass deaths in Europe during the dark ages, to think in some cases all these people had to do is wash their hands or know not to eat spoiled meat or dairy, would have prevented mass death. But then again the ease population burden might have been beneficial in some cases.

Also our true nature is still under debate :yowsa:
