Mbuti Girl Refuses To Eat Monkey Anymore

Ituri Forest, Congo --  The first Mbuti girl, Bakira, refused to eat monkey on Monday this week. She went and picked some mushrooms instead. Not only is it the first girl to refuse monkey, she is the first to refuse precious protein food ever.

Journalists spoke to the elders in the nearby Lese (farming) village, and located the girl in the Lese village, who has been spreading these crazy ideas to Mbuti and Lese girls. She is the eldest daughter of a village chief and cannot be named due to the shame it would bring. No Lese girl other than her has gone through with the threat, and now just one Mbuti.
