My Uncle tried them in SE Asia and wasn't fond of them either. He said if you drank enough beer you could choke one down.

My dad talked about eating them while fighting in WW2 after being cut off by the Japs, he said he preferred the rats

^^^^ My Dad was there also and said the Snakes tasted OK and once in a while they were lucky enough to kill a wild Hog.Any rations that were dropped in the Japs usually got to them first.

Might not be impossible in South Carolina. Some research outfit let 43 get away. They were small ones. The whole thing has got the animals rights stirred up again. I'd be fine with stopping animal research if they would use the rights people in their place. The article talks of bigger research on Monkey Island.

No mention of what they are infected with. Not a positive sign.

They would be fun to chase with a few good hounds

A good trained monkey could go up those leafy trees and shake the coon out, lol.

Some newer, female employee "accidentally" left open two different normally secure doors. I suspect she is a petaphile and let them go on purpose.

Some genius will come up with the idea to turn more pythons loose to control the monkeys, lol.
