The Hero with a Thousand Faces -
Why do we keep telling the same stories over and over?

quote [ Scientists studying a growing population of rhesus macaques in Silver Springs state park say that rather than just carrying herpes B, which is common in the species, some of the monkeys have the virus in their saliva and other bodily fluids, posing a potential risk of spreading the disease. ]
Have to ask - why are there monkeys roaming around Florida in the first place?

Because Republicans will cut off their nose to spite their face if Obama told them he liked it.
The reason there are pythons in Florida, is the same reason there are macaques. It's because Obama tried to pass legislation about exotic pets since they sometimes showed up in the ecosystem. Florida basically was like "fuck that" and deregulated. Then hundreds of exotic pet owners suddenly realized their new expensive animal IS NOT A PET, just let them go. http://science.time.com/2012/01/31/invaders-how-burmese-pythons-are-devouring-the-everglades/ http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2015/12/the_snake_lobby_defends_dangerous_invasive_reptile_species.html |

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but how about we just wait and see how many the rhesus macaques can kill first and go from there.

You mean how many macaques they can kill or how many people?

My joke was cleverly constructed; I stand by it, and refuse to dilute it with further explanation.
Good day. |
