Why don't we kill all monkeys since they've given us HIV, Eboloa and now Zika virus? (rabbits, insect)

I hope that's a joke.

You first. I hear all animals go to heaven.

Jack isn't the one wanting to kill monkeys.

What a dumb idea you have. There. I said it.

I think the diseases were engineered by people, personally.

Is your first cousin your ancestor?

Monkeys and apes are not our ancestors. We simply share a common ancestor with them.

Don't bother with this troll. (lilydopip). Look up his other postings, he's more interested in demons than anything else.

I think it would be good for a international discussion on primates. Ebola, HIV and Zika virus may just be the tip of the ice berg. Everyone here should be concerned about these insidious creatures.

I have a better and less bloody answer. Why don't humans stop eating monkey meat? That's how these diseases became transmitted in the first place.
