This thread is a banter-heavy discussion about a farmer's small catch of bush mice, quickly devolving into moral debates on animal cruelty, superstition regarding Ebola, and linguistic exchanges about local names for the animal. It contains no agricultural production advice, market data, or coordination efforts.
“The meat is small but wastage is a sin here.”
“Thats a rat... Call it mice, it still ebola infested”

“Where did your thumb go?”
“By the dead gods, you're a man-child... It's a waste quoting you. If you had comprehended my first comment, you would understand you're being silly..”
“To be honest, that was my thought too. The last time I saw one was in 2005 and I never heard anything about it like if it was caught, kill or seen since then until I came across this thread.”
