As for whether it can be eaten, from a biological point of view, as long as there is no meat harmful to the human body, it can be eaten, and anything is definitely edible. But from a legal point of view, it is definitely not edible, because it is illegal. Moreover, it is a peaceful time, and we have no worries about food and clothing. If you don't eat so much delicious food, why do you want to eat monkeys? Even if you think about it, you feel disgusting without meat.
Don't tell me about protecting animals and protecting the earth. You know, the earth is very resistant to operation. Even if the hydrogen bomb, a nuclear weapon controlled by human beings, is detonated at the same time, it is not enough to do anything to the earth. Only humans and most creatures have disappeared. From the formation of the earth to the present, there are many worse situations than now, and there are countless cases of collective extinction of organisms, all of which are based on the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest. From the day when human beings expanded into the world, biodiversity plummeted, but at that time, human beings did not have this consciousness, just like animals, they were all instinctive. Until today, human beings have developed civilization for thousands of years. Even after the industrial revolution, the explosion of technology and the destruction of the environment should be said to be the result of human beings, because this is only the result of human beings standing out from many biological competitors, but at the same time, the environment has become increasingly unsuitable for human survival. It can also be said that human beings are right, that is, the slogan of protecting nature and biodiversity was put forward only when it threatened themselves. In fact, it is to protect mankind. This kind of competition and greed is written in their genes, not just human beings. All animals in nature are fighting for niche. All human beings, as creatures, are not cruel, but at least they can continue to protect the environment and animals for their own living space.
