Considering atheists celebrate Monkey, brown people have been called macacas, and the fact that I am a vegetarian, I’m deeply offended by this on all sorts of levels.
A federal judge in Brooklyn has rejected a Liberian woman’s religious reasons for smuggling endangered monkey meat into the country.
U.S. District Judge Raymond J. Dearie ruled Wednesday that Mamie Manneh’s faith didn’t preclude her from applying for permits to import exotic food or explain why she misled officials.
Manneh was charged with smuggling the meat three years ago after customs agents seized a shipment of primate parts as it passed through Kennedy Airport on the way to her home in Staten Island.
Manneh’s lawyers claimed a First Amendment right, arguing that some Liberian Christians eat monkey meat for spiritual reasons.
Eating monkey meat?
Besides sounding kinda dirty, that just seems wrong.
And since when was monkey meat part of any Christian ritual…? I don’t remember that part of the Bible.
I guess the lady just wanted to try some Rhesus Pieces (Ha!)
