Among the reports that have come to me include analysis of the problem that consumers include policy-makers at the national level, and their wives, who, of course, don't, as a result, put much effort behind enforcement of the EU laws that prohibit such practices |
Because of course such things
never happen in the US?
Planet Ark : Bushmeat "Sold in Secret European, US Markets" http://www.4apes.com/bushmeat/report/bushmeat.pdf (pdf, sorry)

What
new piety would this be?
Executing humans has always been barbaric. The issue that was raised was whether you considered the consumption of bush meat comparable to the execution of Humans. An issue you repeatedly side step.
Regardless, when it comes to 'piety',
in this context, the US would be well advised to simply shut up.

From someone who stated he believed in absolute morality I find your sincerity on this issue suspect; aside from the health issues around eating 'Chimps', why do you seemingly rate the value of one animal above another - isn't all life equally precious to you?
