A long time ago I was in Tanzania to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in a group. About 30 people. We visited a Masai village. They shot an arrow through the jugular of a goat. 2 guys held the goat down and a 3rd guy collected the blood coming out of its neck. The Masai processed the goat, put little bits on meat on wooden skewers and put the skewers around a fire. It tasted like goat meat from a Masai village in Africa.

I saw a guy get run over by a military truck in Nairobi. The tire went over part of his head. His heart kept beating and pumped out all his blood from the injury on his head.

The monkeys have no tails in Zamboanga.
