Will they ever learn? Chinese markets are still selling bats and slaughtering rabbits on blood-soaked floors as Beijing celebrates 'victory' over the coronavirus
Daily Mail ^ | March 28, 2020 | George Knowles

Terrified dogs and cats crammed into rusty cages. Bats and scorpions offered for sale as traditional medicine. Rabbits and ducks slaughtered and skinned side by side on a stone floor covered with blood, filth, and animal remains.

Those were the deeply troubling scenes yesterday as China celebrated its 'victory' over the coronavirus by reopening squalid meat markets of the type that started the pandemic three months ago, with no apparent attempt to raise hygiene standards to prevent a future outbreak.

Will we ever learn?

Why is this place still standing? Why is the bio weapon lab still standing?

Because without their supply lines, we’re screwed.

These “wet markets” serve the needs of the wealthy....meaning the communist party loyalists.

Their desire for exotic wild animals from all over the world are what allows viruses to cross from animal to human.

These “wet markets” put the live animals together in one place, sharing viruses with each other. They are slaughtered in this place and humans ingest the viruses, which mutate and spread among humans.

Make no mistake, this is all the fault of the elite communist leadership.

Oh my, so this is this limitless goldmine for Apple, GM, Microsoft, Disney, and other corporate liberals. Words can not express my contempt for these people, and Steve Jobs’ widow even recently lectured to us about not wanting to go back to the Rockefellers or Carnegies or other “robber barons” of the past.

The wet markets in HK only sell normal foods.

The exotic stuff is illegal.

If the “wet market” was the true source of the pandemic would the let it stand? Or would they doze it to he ground like the Christen churches the are now blaming for the outbreak.

There must be some way to interest the Chinese people in a less toxic source of wings.

Yea..and did the Rockerfellers ever spread a pandemic.

These good old progressive billionaires stuffing our politician’s pockets full of pay offs in order to make it easier to set up shop in China, a country filled with all kinds of wrong doing from the environment to human rights, to endangered species. All that trade they do makes it easier for the communists to keep operating and spread their nastiness.

See why leftism is a lie?

“If the “wet market” was the true source of the pandemic would the let it stand?”

Do China’s elite leaders care if 10% of their weak and old die off? Why would they?

The book The Jungle (1906) by Upton Sinclair is what led to changes in slaughter houses and meat processing in the USA.
