Puolet maailman aaseista on kohta lahdattu julmin tavoin ryppyvoiteeksi

More than half the world's donkey population could be wiped out in five years due to rising demand in Chinese medicine, charity Donkey Sanctuary has warned.

Nearly five million skins are used every year to make ejiao, a gel believed to be a health remedy, putting enormous strain on donkey populations around the world.

It is thought that ejiao, which was once the preserve of emperors but is now sought after by the middle classes, can help cure anything from colds to ageing.

The donkey skin trade has resulted in 'suffering on an enormous and unacceptable scale', the group's chief executive Mike Baker said in a statement.

Researchers found examples of unhygienic and inhumane processing conditions, including donkeys being bludgeoned on the head at one slaughterhouse in Tanzania while still conscious and restrained.

En vaan kestä mielipuolia ihmisiä, jotka teurastavat kaiken eteensä tulevan. Eikö voisi jo koittaa aika kun ihmiset ovat älyllisiä olentoa ja toimivat vastuullisesti?
