John,

The fact that the locals didn't wait for the animals to die before cutting into them is of no suprise. I have never been on a continent where animals are treated as poorly as in africa. And I've been around to quite a few unsavioury places. Animal beatings and abuse of both household and farm animals were a common sight for us thru the whole continent from Morocco in the north to Mozambique in the south. Donkeys that had been harnessed with god knows what, so the skin and meat was rubbed off, and thus a large portion of their shoulder blades sticking out were sights that we'll always remember...

one had demolished a pit latrine and slipped into it with the hind legs.

My only hope is that the bastards got dysentry from the juicy, "marinated" elephant legs...
