    This title makes Zimbabwe sound like barbarians & doesn’t properly explain what is happening.

    Typical Internet bullshit.

    I doubt anyone is eating bloated corpses, you take fresh & healthy kills when hunting, and you check the liver for spots when dressing & cleaning.

    I’m not trying to downplay the severity of Anthrax, I’m simply trying to express the severity of the panic being programmed into us on a daily basis.

        In my defense, they share a border and both start with “Z”.

        My deepest & most sincere apologies

          Would’ve been easier to just say yep rather than get defensive. It’s okay to make a mistake.

            That’s a rather aggressive way to respond to someone who just admitted they were wrong ;)

              Is it aggressive? Your apology sounded sarcastic but I am not willing to say that’s what it “was”.

                  Can I be aggressive and understanding at the same time? (I’d say not) I truly was just trying to say that it’s alright to make a mistake and the overdone apology made it seem defensive.
