Chinese ‘wet markets’ reportedly open back up for business, ready to sell bats and dogs for human consumption

Buy ’em butchered on the spot. Yum yum.

Medicinal too:

Wet markets have long been criticized for being unhygienic and cruel to animals. Animals such as bats, lizards, and toads are sold as medicine to treat common ailments. Cats and dogs are sold and butchered on the streets.

Not in Andersonville, where they are brought up in luxury.

Scientists have yet to pinpoint what started the coronavirus, but some speculate these markets played a role due to their unsanitary conditions.

Hence the “Chinese virus,” of course.

“You’ve got live animals, so there’s feces everywhere. There’s blood because of people chopping them up,” Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, which works to protect wildlife and public health from emerging diseases, told the Associated Press last month.

It happened in Wuhan. Happening, that is.
