Why Is Bushmeat Banned In US?
LAGOS DECEMBER 9TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Bushmeat is a category that encompasses many types of meat. It can range anywhere from reptiles and amphibians to birds and primates, big and small. Certain wild animals are excluded from the bushmeat category, such as wild boar or deer, which are often referred to as wild game.
Part of this distinction comes from the fact that these animals are native to America and have health guidelines to match, while other meats such as rodents or monkeys that come from developing nations are not commonly consumed in the U.S. and are not vetted for disease.
Although importing bushmeat is illegal in America, this is not to say that it is not commonly consumed in other places. Bushmeat is commonly consumed in African, Latin American, and Asian cuisines, particularly in highly remote areas ill-suited for raising cattle and other livestock. Despite this, bringing bushmeat into America is considered a crime and any bushmeat brought into the United States is typically destroyed.
The major concern with bushmeat is human health. Typically, bushmeat is not very well processed; in some cases, it is even consumed raw. Processes like smoking or salting help reduce the potential for illness, which is something bushmeat greatly lacks. Given that bushmeat tends to include less common types of meat, the lack of processing can be especially dangerous as there are fewer laws and regulations, if any, related to these types of meat.
