32 pounds of rat meat seized at Chicago airport
Published: July 3, 2019 1:06 p.m. ET

CHICAGO (AP) — Officials say U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport thwarted a man’s attempt to import several pounds of African rat meat.

Customs spokesman Steve Bansbach said Tuesday that the man declared the 32 pounds of meat on June 26 when his flight arrived from the Ivory Coast. The meat was confiscated and destroyed.

Bansbach says the man did not face a fine and continued on his journey because he was forthcoming about what he was bringing into the country. He says customs officials prohibit the entry of African meats to prevent the spread of African swine fever.

How many dead rats does it take to get 32 pounds of meat?

Not just any old rat meat........ African rat meat.

I hear it has a special flavor, especially when the rats have been near swine.  happy77

He would have been allowed to keep Chicago rats. :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nutritionally, meat is meat. So, as long as the meat is not tainted or the flavor unacceptable to your tastes, go for it. People worldwide eat the strangest things.

My guess would be 535, the same number of rats who are in the US Congress.

We have been on vacation, and spent the time past two days in DC. Sure didn’t fill me with pride like it used to. Our “Temple of Liberty” has been defiled IMO.

Charlie didn't get much USO. He was dug in too deep or moving too fast. His idea of great R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home: death, or victory.
