Nice Monkey
Michael C.:
My father in law says the only thing is it's a bit disconcerting when you get to the arms and the way the little hands look a bit to similar to ours. Meats good though they eat it on the Amazon and tributaries all the time just like any other meat you get in the jungles you probably wouldn't know the difference if they took the bones out.They hang out in troupes in the small towns farther down into the jungles and especially at the end of the line. They would steal stuff from tourists and then use whatever they stole as trade in order to get you to give them food. You had to be quick when you swapped with them though or they would try and hold onto it and get more food. I remember feeling sorry for the dogs in those towns, because the monkeys were a lot stronger, smarter and meaner.
Parnell:
It's funny how people are picky over animals. If I ever saw a monkey messin with my dog, I wouldn't care less whether the monkey had thumbs. Dead monkey. Lotsa people don't value dogs though, so hey, to each their own, I suppose.
Monkey florentine, monkey nuggets, Monkey au grotin, monkey meatloaf, monkey marinara, monkey 'n eggs, monkey caciatore, Sloppy Joe the Monkey, cold monkey sandwiches with a little coleman's mustard, and last but not least, monkey blood soup.
Michael C.:
I think it was more of a case of stray dogs and wild monkeys, it didn't look like the dogs were being very well cared for. Even the ones that people own in South America aren't really pets they are more working class animals. That's not to say they don't take care of the ones they own they just aren't "family" pets.
JustinNC:
Two critters give me the creeps....Spiders and Monkeys.
Grunt:
In Vietnam we had what we called "rock apes". They would approach the wire at night and throw rocks over the wire at us. It was troublesome but sometimes the rocks would be grenades thrown by main force VC. You didn't know what was what. One night I'd had enough and got a 3.5 WP rocket launcher and shot one of those apes and started a fire that burned for two days. The back blast almost got the Lt. No monkey meat left to eat.
