I didn't say anything about the morality of eating apes. I'm pointing out that the meme is literally calling an ape a Viet Cong and everyone else seems to be ok with equating the two.

You're misunderstanding the meme, Idk if willfully so since OP has already clarified it for you but that's not what it is saying. Reading the ape as a viet cong is a reach and you should let this go.
