We were a backward people in 2005

with 4 comments


The topic of bushmeat comes up over and over in Central Africa, especially when you hang out in that intertidal zone between consumers and conservationists, like I do. A couple of days ago someone asked me if we ate bushmeat in Canada and I said no.

Then today while going through some old photos I found this:

We were a backward people in 2005.

  1. yo jane! I’m eating bush meat all the time. Well I guess if caribou, moose, arctic hare, canada goose, snow goose and ptarmigan count……or what do they mean?
