Who would have expected this? Is it wrong of me to think of this as a bit of a pot-kettle thing.

Too funny.

On the same internet location was a story of Canadian government in Toronto spending almost $300K to foster the market to sell seal meat in Canada and other countries. NOT a great deal different from selling donkeys in China. Whatever the market will bear, someone will sell it. I am sure you wouldn't recognize most of the products sold in Walmart China as they sell what is needed in the area as for food products. Clothing might be somewhat similar since most of the stuff we buy is from China also.

Now I know that Russia raises foxes for fur; I wonder what they do with the rest of the fox?

because donkey meat in China is very common. Donkey dumplings are often listed on menus of good dumpling restaurants. Just not a western norm.

Here is picture of cat stir fry. So maybe not common where we live but other cultures are just different.



I spend about 50% of my working time in China.

It common to test in china to ensure suppliers are not cheating retailers. Retailers want to make sure they get what they pay for and not something cheaper. WalMArt got cheated by a bad supplier.

Here in USA we consume something called "pink slime" on a real regular basis at places like McDoanlds, etc... and this is much more gross and much much worse than something like donkey IMHO.
