There is a real donkey slaughter going on. For some reason the skins are being used in Chinese medicine. To keep up with the demand it is not enough to slaughter Chinese donkeys. They are now buying thousands of skins from Africa. This is leading to illegal trafficking in skins and illegal unregulated slaughter.

This illegal donkey trade is leading to animal abuse and a serious depletion of the donkey population. In some areas the donkeys will be wiped out. The trade in the skins helps fund other illegal trafficking. It is part of the whole poaching and exploiting animals that is going on.
Why donkeys? How can anyone think that a donkey skin is a source of healing?
