Illegal Gourmet Chimpanzee: Cooking in the Danger Zone

MikeBunnell
Food journalist Stefan Gates investigates a community appetite for bushmeat in Cameroon. Though it's illegal to hunt or purchase meats from animals like the porcupine, gorilla, and chimpanzee, a local woman explains that she can still get a lot of money for preparing them in secret.

If Vanguard did a food show, it'd be Cooking in the Danger Zone. Gates goes on a worldwide odyssey to check out the crazy (to us) foods that people eat in the far flung corners of the globe. In each episode he samples the culture and meets the locals before diving into the local delicacy.

    • People should be able to own and breed endangered species. This ownership would automatically result in conservation by the owners who would benefit greatly from the continued care of their animal property. This may seem counter intuitive but has actually been tried in some of Africa with great success. This kind of education would solve these problems.

      While it is fair to assume that YOU may be rational and intuitive, it is not right (and very dangerous) to assume that everyone is rational.

      ie, just because you have yours, doesn't mean everyone else does.

    • Sad, and just goes to show that education is what will solve these problems.

      Ignorance, the enemy.
