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

Fudge, peacocks 🦚 ?

Shame!

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

These Peafowl are well and beautiful packaged... 😉

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.

Originated in wildlife ? It's manmade designed for exactly the effect it's having it's a targeted virus according to experts . More MSM lies
