"<p>\n\tRaids in Britain conducted by Trading Standards Officials have turned up potentially contaminated chimpanzee meat being sold in the United Kingdom.<br />\n\t<br />\n\tThe bush meat, which could potentially be infected with anthrax, tuberculosis, foot-and-mouth disease or cholera, was discovered in market stalls in the Midlands. Consumers there address the bush meat as special meat for a special ceremony, according to MediaIndia.net.<br />\n\t<br />\n\tBush meat products are not only consumed after importation, they are also used for medicinal purposes and as status symbols.<br />\n\t<br />\n\t&ldquo;Chimpanzee meat is rare, even in the markets of Africa,&quot; Marcus Radcliffe of the Zoological Society of London said, according to MediaIndia.net. &quot;Up to 270 tons of bush meat a year could be smuggled from Africa to the UK and other European countries via French capital Paris.&quot;<br />\n\t<br />\n\tSmugglers appear to give little thought to getting caught with the restricted products, often making little or no attempt to hide the bush meat being caught transporting it in suitcases.<br />\n\t<br />\n\tSome of the meat is brought in disguised as other meat products like beef or lamb. It costs more than &pound;20 per kilogram.<br />\n\t<br />\n\t&lsquo;It is well known this practice is underway in the region but I was shocked to discover the meat that was tested was once a chimpanzee,&rdquo; a government whistleblower told DailyMail.co.uk. &ldquo;Dubious meat is often tested, and has turned out to be things like rats and vermin in the past &ndash; but chimpanzee is unbelievable.&rdquo;</p>\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
