This headline combined with this face cracked me up which forced me to read the story which is not as funny. https://www.ecowatch.com/who-eats-lemurs-2639275248.html?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1
" Although poverty is endemic in Madagascar, it's not the only factor driving lemur consumption. Two additional studies published that year in PLOS One and in Environmental Conservation revealed that Madagascar's wealthier and middle-class citizens are equal participants. The studies uncovered a massive supply chain that transports meat from lemurs and other endangered species into urban and semi-urban areas, where it is sold in restaurants, open-air markets and even supermarkets."
Even as the endangered lemur population which is facing extinction numbers' decreasing, this gives entitled fucks all the more reason to desire such rare meat. I can't put my finger on the exact adjective to describe such behavior but it's not good. Maybe I just can't put a name to it yet because I can't comprehend it. Anyway take a good look at that cute little face because soon it may be gone forever.
