These "Wet markets" for exotic animals are the cause of Covid 19. And they are

all over Asia! Animals are smuggled in just like drugs and then sold on these markets; slaughtered right there. I can't believe what people are eating!

Warning: this is troubling because they go undercover into some markets.

This is the animal that the man thinks the coronavirus started with. The Pengolin or scaly anteater.

2. That's heartbreaking. All those beautiful, wild animals.

3. Sickos who insist on eating endangered species

have started hideous nightmares for everyone else in the world.

When are sickos who hunt and/or eat endangered species going to be seen as the danger they are and punished accordingly? Why, when dealing with them, do people only give them a slap on the wrist, IF ANYTHING?

Same with these assholes who are getting together for church and saying they will be ok because God. They are spreading it because they are stupid, stubborn, self-serving, and selfish.

4. I'll never be able to watch The Freshman again.

Even though the animals are rescued...1990 (Brando and Broderick)

5. It's wildlife markets, not wet markets.

Wet markets are like our farmers markets. Wildlife markets were recently banned.

6. Its right in the title. They are the ones calling them "Wet markets" And they do say

that these markets have been banned but not in every country and the one they go to is secret. They are wearing hidden cameras to record everything.

7. Apparently not everywhere.

Footage here from markets in Thailand. Organised crime bringing animals from Africa and everywhere. Torture chambers for the animals and breeding grounds for pandemics.

8. This MUST be required viewing by government and health officials, assuming

they don't already know all about these sources!

Several at a Libreville market claim that Chinese buyers used to come to snatch up their pangolin supplies, but those shoppers have now disappeared.

"We've been eating pangolin for years - don't bring the disease here," said Melanie, a vegetable seller at the market acting as a spokesperson for the bushmeat sellers, who prefer to stay silent.

Scale prices 'like ivory'

The animal's meat is a delicacy in Gabon, but Asian customers are also interested in the scales that cover the pangolin and make its tail look like an artichoke.

Used in Chinese medicine, the scales are sold at a steep price to illegal dealers in China, says Luc Mathot, director of the NGO Conservation Justice.

At "$1,000 a kilogramme, more or less like ivory," he calls the price "ridiculous" since the scales "are made of keratin, like in fingernails".
