Did I answer okay?

If, as you say, every part is used, are you serving up monkey bunghole soup to the food critics? "Here, just try it, it's bush meat.":D

I can't imagine that those in the know enjoy that part of the animal, but I have been known to be wrong before.
 
Good answer, IMO.

I'd like to have a Monkey hat made, if you wouldn't mind bringing me a pelt back next time you're down South, Jeff. ;)

He's just upset since Monkeys have cute faces... if it were a big ol' rat, no one would care.
 
In my admittedly limited experience, consisting mainly of seeing them run amok in India, monkeys strike me as obnoxious and worthy of being put to the spit.:D
 
Very good and accurate reply, Brian. Appreciate it.
 
Monkeys are considered a sacred animal in India, which is why they are allowed to do any dang thing they please.

Apparently in some parts its the same thing with rats... they get the pick of the crops and the human pop gets what is left.

There are many things about India that puzzle me deeply.

Some people can get wound up way too much over the simplest of things. I responded to the old fart in the thread.

Wow, Tactical Knives magazine and SWAT Magazine has run a lot worse photos of mine than a monkey being butchered and no one complained.

I guess a lot of folks wish to go through life with blinders on and never accept the real world. Maybe they think it's wrong to attempt to educate others to how the rest of the world lives. Screw 'em, I'll keep writing and shooting pictures as I see fit. I'm a damn realist. I may not agree with some things in the world but it doesn't change the fact that it's just the way it is.
 
Thanks, Jeff. I was trying to be nice, in case he already had one heart attack from seeing the photo. LOL.

Some people have a gut-level, visceral reaction to things like that, reactions that can be involuntary. it's funny, when I see wild game in its context (i.e. monkey in jungle, deer in woods) being cleaned or about to be cleaned, I salivate. It's the Pavlovian association for me now: I see dinner. :D
 
I think your response was very tasteful Brian. Unfortunately alot of the other replies were not. It would have been nice if more responses were like yours. I think if oldguy would have been invited to reply back and became engaged in intelligent dialogue he might have come to see the truth behind the picture and the reality in which it represents.
 
kgd, good reply as well.

I thought that Brian's response was very tasteful.

I think the original poster is very short-sighted in his statements - taking the photo out of context and making judgments based on the belief of his own culture - but I wouldn't have blasted him either.

I think there's an opportunity to open someone's eyes to the bigger picture but I doubt he'll say anything back knowing he was going to get flamed.



Besides, if the old codger can't take a joke or a jab...f'ck him. :D [Sarcasm added with emphasis!]

I am kidding on the last joke, honestly. :cool:
 
When I was stationed in the Philippines(Subic Bay), people were
selling monkey meat on a stick on about every corner. I thought
it was very tasty, especially with a little bbq sauce. The Iguanas
were considered a delicacy too. The only thing I had a problem
with was Balut, not the looks of it, but it was nasty tasting..
 
I have to wonder what type of serious discussion could have come from starting such a thread. Damn! This world sure has lost their sense of humor. I guess a lot of folks just refuse to believe the world is sometimes as cruel and strange as it is.

If Old Guy couldn't handle some of the responses maybe he shouldn't have started the thread to begin with. And if you're going to start such a thread that is going to immediately draw debate (as he implied when he posted it up) then by all means have the gumption to get in there and defend your initial argument. No one is upset with Old Guy believing what he wants. Hell, he may even be right- seriously. Maybe such a photo didn't belong in a magazine such as Blade. In the future, maybe I should reserve such articles and photos to SWAT and Tactical Knives.

This world is getting way too politically correct for someone like me.
 
Hey I have a pic of Jeff using one of my Gambits on a monkey in Peru.. Looked like good eatin to me... Prolly tastes like chicken Im guessin..HA!

On top of that, he started it in Whine & Cheese, which is the dedicated forum for flogging and all other fun misbehavior. If was gonna get flogged, it was in there! The other responses were appropo for that forum:

You post, you roast! That's my own W&C motto anyway...:D
 
I didn't see that it was in W&C so I guess those responses were much more reserved than they could have been :)
 
It's in the subject so I would like to know exactly what is going on in the vid showing the RC-3 in action on Rat Cutlery's website:
http://www.ratcutlery.com/skinning.wmv

Looks like the animal is still moving. Is it alive or you simply touched its nervous system with the blade?
 
The deer was dead but it does appear to move when the knife is first laid on to him. If you look close I think the front leg was stuck behind something and when it came free it jumped forward. The only thing we have ever skinned alive was that one participant that pissed us off down there. I took photos and tried to get Blade to run them since it was some nice knife work but they refused.:D
