The World Health Organization on Thursday pushed back on calls from around the globe to ban wildlife markets, also known as “wet markets,” saying instead that they need to be “well regulated and managed” amid information suggesting that the markets were the source of several coronavirus outbreaks.

regulating wet markets to the extent needed to keep bat sh*t out of the food chain would effectively ban them.

I am convinced that small penis syndrome is the cause of the majority of endangered animals in the world.

The difference is in Italy the slaughterhouse is in a different location. In China the slaughterhouse, butcher, and farmer’s market are all in one.

A bit dirty??? Ever been to a wet market in Taiwan? Blood, guts, poop everywhere. Never saw anyone putting ice on meat displayed for sale. Wanta buy some chicken guts? Lady holds an intestine up and cuts off what you want. Clean the poop out later.

The fish wet market I was in was even worse. Dead fish laying everywhere. Want a piece of fish? Butcher tosses a fish on the table and cuts it up in front of you scraping the guts off the table as he works.

[oldasrocks]

As stated above animals are slaughtered on site. The reason for this is lack of refrigeration. No way to transport slaughtered animals so brought to market alive and butchered on site.

China has its hand so far up WHO’s a** they’re a sock puppet.

[trebb]

And the Itals are a generally cleaner bunch...and probably have stricter health controls over their markets....they wouldn’t allow blood and offal in the gutters at their markets...(I’m assuming it ain’t an odd thing in China’s markets)

[Maceman]

What counts for wet market? Are fish/lobster tanks in the supermarkets ‘wet markets’?

The fish & lobster tanks in my local supermarket are closed. No seafood for you!!

[Luke21]

This is Fox News?

[Secret Agent Man]

yes because all systems ‘well regulated and controlled’ by government just run spectacularly and wonderful.

[shanover]

How about BOTH "wet markets" (which are barbaric!) AND biological labs that very well may kill the planet be shut down! Something tells me killing America is much more important to the global and leftist scum.

I am curious to what the USA during the Cold War would have done if the Soviets unleashed such an attack? I think they knew some cities would be vaporized so they never did it.That's not hyperbole,that was reality of the times. Do the Chicoms think we are now a paper tiger?

[gov_bean_ counter]

I also don't believe in drugs wet markets. For years I paid my people extra so they wouldn't do that kind of business. Somebody comes to them and says, «I have powders bats; if you put up three, four thousand dollar investment - we can make fifty thousand distributing.» So they can't resist. I want to control it as a business, to keep it respectable.

[Fai Mao]

Yes, I’ve been to them in Taiwan and in Hong Kong and Singapore.

Taiwan’s are the worst. After SAR’s Hong Kong and Singapore really cleaned theirs up. But, there are still rats about and flies; and that butcher’s apron doesn’t look like it has been washed since 1955.

I wouldn’t let my wife buy meat there unless it was the frozen meat store, just vegetables.

But, there is a difference, at least in my mind, in butchering wild game and domestic chickens. It took some real getting used to when I first moved to Asia.

[Nifster]

WHO is just an arm of the CCP

[Thank You Rush]

What good are any of these “world” organizations? Why isn’t it ever apparent to the WORLD they have a function? The UN - WHO - any of them. They’re all one huge social organization with many “subs” that get publicity and for what? Remember Rwanda?

As useless as the many offshoots of the Clinton Foundation or any other Foundation. “I have money - I’m going to form a foundation” and show the world exactly WHAT? That I have money? Any of the foundations that are well known all support liberal causes...

[Bommer]

So WHO is now the FDA?

[NorseViking]

Let’s say the Chicoms don’t eat it raw by default but the clerk in the supermarket guts fish for you too.

David Horowitz, FrontPageMagazine, April 17,2020:

Who is director Tedros? According to The Hill, he is not a medical doctor and had no global health management experience before China shoe-horned him into the director’s seat at WHO. According to The Hill – a publication with which Nancy Pelosi is surely familiar - Tedros is an Ethiopian communist and terrorist, who served in the infamous Marxist dictatorship known as the Derg, which slaughtered thousands of its subjects.

He went on to serve as an executive member of the Tigray Liberation Front, an organization listed in the Global Terrorism database, and as Ethiopia’s foreign minister – that is, for a country known as “Little China,” because the Chinese Communists have invested in it so heavily and made it a strategic bridge in their imperialist designs on the African continent. Just as they have made the World Health Organization a strategic bridge in their designs on the rest of the world.

As we have said 10K times before, "Trump is right again!"
