Growing demand for donkey meat and skin in China is causing a sharp decline in the animals in Kenya. Animal rights campaigners warn that donkeys could soon disappear in the east African country, where they play a vital role as beasts of burden, especially in rural areas.
Since 2014, four abattoirs have been set up in Kenya to meet demand. The meat is considered a delicacy in China and the skins are processed to create ejiao, a traditional remedy used to treat everything from anaemia to dizziness. However, according to a recent report by the African Network for Animal Welfare (ANAW), the slaughterhouses are operating at below half their capacity.

The Donkey Fin Soup is sublime.
Tasted just like pork.
It’s because Trump won’t sell them soy beans.
Good thing Obama got out when he did.
Someone should tell the Kenyans that its possible to raise new donkeys - and sell them!
And the left just continues to keep smashing the USA for everything as the Chicoms are the number one parasite and sh*tter on the planet.
Kenyans must be some of the dumbest people on the planet. A normal country would just ramp up breeding programs to fill the need. These morons merely slaughter their livestock to the last animal? Note that these are the winners. The losers got to become slaves and mostly worked to death in Arabia.

So where are the animal “rights” activists, PETA, world wildlife fund, and on and on? Crickets, because their real intent and efforts are only against the US. Phony agencies, phony arguments. phony caring.
The Chinese will eat anything with four legs except a table.
PETA is trying, but, Africa wins again, I imagine.
“PETA is also pressuring the government. Shah points out that 12 other African countries have closed Chinese-funded abattoirs and developed policies to control the export of donkey skins to China. She says PETA has written to the Ministry of Agriculture demanding they follow suit with “immediate action to ban all Kenyan donkey slaughterhouses”.
I’ve had curried goat. It was good.
I used to see donkey on the menu in China all the time. Lots of strange animal parts too.
The Chinese like a little ass?
Who knew?
Those yellow b@st@rds are tough on the fauna. What they need is a large and constant supply of American beef. Suck it enviro nutjobs & vegans (same thing).
What’s the time period? My wife is from the rural area of the PI and says monkeys are pretty much rare, endangered, and FAR more valuable as pets. Someone probably sold you cat, rat, or dog and told it was monkey meat.
I know where there’s a Kenyan donkey, he just bought a mansion on Martha’s.
I urge the Chicoms to take him right away!
Someone has been killing donkeys in the American Southwest! Any Chinese connection?
The damn Chinese can fill their gullets with monkey meat then. Poor little donkeys.
Why don’t demand for pork destroys pig population? That’s something to look into for these Kenyans.
