A Plan To Protect Endangered Primates In The Congo

It's well known that gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees, man's closest relatives, are killed in the Congo for "bush meat". The killers claim that Congolese lore instructs "...the [apes] flesh and bones strenghten their own [Congolese] children".

Meanwhile over in Darfur hundreds of thousands are dying because of the true,basic reason of overpopulating a dry-land ecosystem. They brought more children into the world at the same time they couldn't really take care of the ones already here.

Hey, why don't the Congolese killers get the redundant Darfurs instead of killing endangered primates? Or is Darfur too far to go and it sounds too much like work?
