Maybe they can wipe out our donkeys, too!

One can hope.

My lovely wife is from China. I have been to buffets in Shanghai where they have signs in English telling what’s there, I chose my food very carefully.

"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 spent some time at the Subic Bay naval station on two westpacs in the early seventies. There were several vendors selling the shish kabobs of the mystery meat in the evening, balut in the morning.

Cruelty to animals is one of the main reasons I despise the Chinese. There is a long list, ably demonstrated by the invasion moving into my neighborhood and lowering the quality of life for all.

What if I told you that legal breeding would actually grow the donkey population.

Of course the Chinese culture practice of eating naive loyal work animals is a disturbing one.

The Chinese seem to have a lot of medical problems that are resolved only by eating non conforming animals (not normally used as food).

‘raise new donkeys - and sell them”. You are using too much common sense which is somethiMg that the Kenyans don’t seem to have. We witnessed it right here from the former occupant of the white hut.

99.9% of the Chinese culture is stone age.

If there’s a huge demand it is probably very hard to keep your breeder stock from being stolen by rustlers and sold to the Chinese slaughterhouses and the Chinese probably aren’t too particular about making sure they are buying legitimately owned animals.

"In the Philippines street vendors sold bbq'd shish kabobs of monkey meat. Tasted just like pork."

It tasted like pork or chicken because it was pork or chicken. One of my friends, while stationed in the Phillipines, married a bar fly that "danced in a bar" in Olongapo. She told me that it was sold as monkey meat, so Americans would buy it, because it sounded exotic. Since it was pork or chicken, the Americans bought it a second or third time. She asked me, how many monkey would have to be caught every day to feed all of the American Marines and sailors? Makes sense.

OBTW, she turned out to be a great wife. They had a pile of kids (she is Catholic) and she kept them on a short rope and treats her husband like a king.

Thievery prevents breeders from simply producing more stock. To breed an animal has to be old enough and to get it to that age, and after pregnancy and the long gestation period to the first birth, takes a very vigilent farmer’s 100% attention to keep it healthy and to keep it from being stolen, and it takes a lot of feed that costs money before the animal earns back even a penny. You cannot rent the animal out for labor because a renter is a lousy guard against thieves. You cannot leave your donkeys home and use one for hauling somewhere because thieves will raid your field and steal the donkeys left at home. Then, donkeys aren’t pigs that have huge litters, so the yield is low. The incentive to take the easy safe route and steal donkeys for profit is too high thanks to Chinese demand.

Pigs have huge litters and can be raised indoors or in very small quarters where they can easily be watched. They are everything a donkey isn’t.
