Monkey meat! Monkey meat! Monkey meat!

Malaysia to export monkeys for research

Malaysia has defended its decision to allow the export of macaque monkeys for meat and scientific research purposes, saying it will help curb their booming population in cities where they attack people and raid homes for food.

...

Azmi could not say how many macaques the ministry would allow to be exported or how it would control the trade, saying the details still have to be fine-tuned. He also could not say how the government will make sure the monkeys are not caught from forests but from cities where they are a nuisance.

I tell you, I won't eat no city monkey meat! Man, you just don't know what they been eatin'! Could be French fries. Could be PayDays. Might be drinkin' muscatel and eatin' boogers off the street!

Them city monkeys be so tough and stringy from all that work they gotta do looking for tossed out pieces of popcorn an' almos' empty Starbucks cups.

Gimme a fat ol' country monkey any day, brother!

It's a bad day to be a monkey.
This is bad news for those like to dance to accordian music. Now they have another reason to worry about being shot.
