HIV Showing Up In African Gorilla Eaters

Who eats Gorilla? And who is getting infected with HIV feasting on the forest beasts?  Africans.

The HIV related 'Simian foamy virus' is ripping through the ape populations  in Cameroon.  Camerooners are big fans of ‘bushmeat’ consisting of at least 80% gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey sinew..

The DC-based Bush Meat Crisis Task Force says five-million tons, or 3000 gorillas and other monkeys are being ‘harvested’ in the Congo annually. In cow terms that's 10 million head.

So if the gorillas are HIV infected are the 'people' eating them getting sick?  Yep.

Ebola is also stewing around in the same pot-o-chimp. ‘In the village of Bakaklion our brothers found a dead gorilla in the forest,’ said Felix Biango,a village elder. ‘They took it back to the village and ate the meat. Almost immediately, everyone died – 25 men, women and children – the only person who didn't was a woman who didn't eat the meat.’

African are in the forefront cooking up viral ways to wipe out humanity.  True, Africans were not capable of harnessing the atom and creating nuclear weapons, but they are doing what they do do best - breed disease.
