Well this is what led up to it. On a warm day whiles sitting under a shea tree (so many of them here) i was approached by a young man wearing shorts and a shirt with a locally made gun hanging behind him. We exchanged pleasantries as usual and that is where my knowledge of the local dialect ends ( called "birifo" by the way). I therefore called a fellow teacher to explain to me whats he's saying. Apparently he's a hunter who's shot something, would we like to see it and may be buy it? Yeah sure i said, he opened his sack and LO!!!
Sad case of animal cruelty i said. 'not at all' hunter and teacher say in unison. Hunter says 'you don't know how wicked monkeys are they destroy the planted crops during planting season and eat a lot of farm crops during harvesting'
Disclaimer: I didn't buy the monkey though i have heard it is a delicacy...
So question is will you buy a dead monkey?
