Promising news. Those photos are hard to look at—such appalling cruelty to these beautiful animals meant to be wild and free.

johnsweeneyroar Horrific, what a cruel race.

johnsweeneyroar Maybe, this is what’s needed to stem China’s greed for eating dog, medicating with Bear offal, international trade in Rhino horn and the illegal ivory business!

Fudge, peacocks 🦚 ?

Thank God for Mama Nature and her big stick Covid-19. This is disgusting.

Update: Law is on the way. (I thought we got one, turned out they’re just making a law, how fxcking cave we are?)😭😭😤😤

Well this is deeply unpleasant.

that Obviously happens also in UK where a large community has been living for years. The UK allowed everything seems “ culture” , including something over the human rights I m very disappointed .

Shame!

GovHowardDean So appropriate that Mother would start the fire in China.

These Peafowl are well and beautiful packaged... 😉

Not only the public health risk, the appalling harm to the animals. The west should act now

I can't imagine the formula those idiots mixed together to give us Corina virus.

these are a people with no empathy whatsoever and they seem to have a cruelty gene This is disgusting, as is the entirety of 'Traditional Chinese Medicine'

Coronavirus = Carnivorous for a reason I guess.
