An unknown illness kills over 50 people in part of Congo with hours between symptoms and death

That sounds like something a bat would say.
-
Just gonna tack on here that everyone's favorite presidential whipping boy, ol' Ronnie shithead Reagan, was partially responsible for allowing it to continue spreading. Hell, his press secretary or some equivalent laughed at the one reporter that actually asked about it and implied the reporter was a homosexual. He also abandoned his buddy Roy Cohn because of it too.
May he rot in piss.

Originally Pandemic 2... i miss flash games lol

Eating bat vs. eating air seems like a no-brainer in the survival dept.

Seriously! Just ask your dad to run to Whole Foods, dummy!

If it flaps, you slaps. Amen.

It's exactly nine thousand!

If you want to stay up for a few nights, read The Hot Zone, which is about Ebola. Those bats are gonna kill us all someday, and there are so many of them!

It's not the bat's fault really. If us humans would stop encroaching further into their territory and stopped warming the planet to the point of no return, we might not be having such extreme issues with zoonotic viruses we've never encountered before trying to kill us.
-
I avoided it because I don't like being sick. It sounded like a pretty shit thing to catch, now had it like 4 times but at least after vaccination and it's been fairly mild.

Do you ask yourself the same thing when eating any other meat or you just have something against other cultures?

The earth will be ok. One day we'll be gone and she'll be just fine.

ITT: People that think only bats get human-transmissible diseases.

man what part of america are you in lol. I've never seen either of those as an everyday occurrence, though you will find them if you go to a southern fried chicken joint.
-
I'm curious as to whether this is lack of experience, knowledge or imagination. Maybe all 3.
-
Now that makes sense. This nonsense about cultures is a crock of shit on the other hand.
-
Confused, currently fapping my slap.

...the south lol

Yes I do, I always wonder how it came to be, and if it's unusual I wonder about why it remains to this day.
Do you not even realise how actually painfully racist it is to imply that their culture is eating known extreme risk factors for horrible diseases? It's like saying having AIDS is queer "culture". It's so fucking patronising.
Guy above gave an actual response. My original comment was just wondering if something happened like extremely bad famine or war that would cause people to take such a risk.
