    the horrific, inhumane animal markets behind pandemics like coronavirus

    Inside the horrific, inhumane animal markets behind pandemics like coronavirus







    You could understand this better if it was the Old CHina when many were starving.
    NOT TODAY with them being the biggest economy in the world manufacturing everything for everyone else and making trillions


    You can usually smell the markets before you see them.


    Especially if you’re downwind.


    It’s a sickly, almost sweet and nauseating smell of death. Once inside, the fetid stench — made worse by blistering temperatures and zero refrigeration — is overwhelming, and it is places like this where the deadly coronavirus originated.


    In stall after stall, a mix of live and dead animals, which run the gamut from the known (pig, ox, duck, chicken) to the rare or unknown due to the condition of the carcass — stare back at you. In the wet areas of the market — usually reserved for fish and sea creatures and where the ground is slick with water and often blood — the stink is worse. The animals that have not yet been dispatched by the butcher’s knife make desperate bids to escape by climbing on top of each other and flopping or jumping out of their containers (to no avail). At least in the wet areas, the animals don’t make a sound. The screams from mammals and fowl are unbearable and heartbreaking.


    These unregulated and usually filthy markets are found all over Asia and Africa.


    In Laos, I came across a section of the local (i.e. not for tourist) market full of dead bats as well as live creatures like birds, turtles, fish and other unfortunate critters.


    In North Vietnam, on market days, hundreds of (live and dead) dogs were being sold for supper alongside other land and sea creatures.

    That is why they call them wet markets. Disgusting. I have walked threw a few of them.

    I have been on a behind the scenes tour of Dulles International and have seen some of the stuff these third worlders tried to smuggle into the US. Various types of bush meat. lol I hope CBP burns that $#@!.

    The $#@! that's done to some of these animals is horrific. I can't even look at it. If there is a God, if there is some sort of karma in this life or the next, some people are going to pay, hopefully eternally. There is nothing lower than the worst humanity has to offer, nothing.

    I agree. I eat a lot less meat than I use to, but when I do I try to get organic and cage from for chickens. In the south we called them yard birds.

    This also shows you the savages that the Chinese are. These are the people that would like to rule the world with "Chinese Characteristics"

    Lock and load.. they can never lead the world

    It is an Asian thing, not strictly a Chinese thing.

    Muslims and Jews have dietary restrictions for a reason.
