Mamie Manneh, currently in prison for attempting to run down a woman she suspected of sleeping with her husband, claims that eating monkey meat is a key part of her Christian rituals. She claims it is a sacrament, unfortunately, we all know she eats it because she did not have butterball turkeys in Africa.
The U.S Customs department found a desiccated monkey arm in her garage after finding bush meat in an international shipment of dried fish from Africa. Besides the obvious creep factor here, there are heath concerns.
A criminal complaint cited evidence that the illegal importation of bushmeat encourages the slaughter of protected wild animals.
More ominously, the complaint warned of "the potential health risks to humans linking bushmeat to diseases like Lassa fever, Ebola, HIV, SARS and monkeypox."
I eat just about anything (except for lima beans!), I would even eat monkey meat if I needed it to live; But I do not need it to live, nor does Mamie Manneh. She lives in America now, monkey meat, even if is to celibate a religious ritual, is no longer a necessity.
Baptisms, Easter, Christmas, weddings, football game— all are occasions for eating monkey, Manneh's supporters said in a sworn statement filed with the court
OK, I added football games... If we take Dawkins views into account here, her practice of religion endangers society by subjecting society to Ebola. It is criminally irresponsible for anyone, let along a Christian, to subject the public to this level of risk, all so she can enjoy monkey butt stew to celibate the marriage of her one of her nine children. Lets keep this religious nutball in jail, she might import white rhino horn as a treatment for her bunions if we let her off.
