Equally worrying is the discovery of bushmeat on sale in Paris,
IPPL (UK) The Bushmeat Issue
This is just a genral webpage on bushmeat and what it is, with the passing reference you quote about bushmeat being on sale ILLEGALLY in Paris, London and Brussels.
That is one old article and a general page mentioning 3 European cities. I can show you this from 10 seconds googling:
Butchered Monkeys Found in Suitcase: USA PrimeConcern

I, however, don't assume from it that bushmeat consumption is commonplace in the USA and the the US is a barbarous country as a result. In your original post it seemed you were attempting to imply it was both legal and not abnormal.

Again I ask you, why do you think that eating bushmeat is commonplace in France and Belgium? It isn't. It is illegal.

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

The same policy-makers who so reverently recite the new piety that to execute humans is barbaric

I find the "morality" suspect -- what is the predicate?
You have completely failed to address my second, and main, point, you seem to think eating animal meat of certain species is a crime equal to or surpassing killing human beings.

Do you? And if so, why?
