Lol ... let's not be hypocritical here. We eat millions and millions of chickens, pigs and cows every day, and suddenly a little donkey skin is no-no?

I can respect animal rights activist if they are strict vegan, but there are so many so called activist who have no problem eating chickens, pigs and cows while protesting about other people eating other animals, ugh.

Indians worship cow and you don't see them bitching about how Western countries consume cows. First world issue at its finest.

To make it 100% clear to the virtue signaling meat eaters in this thread: this comment is about you.

Probably because India does not actually worship cows but is a top producer of cow leather instead. Money is sacred, not whatever some shit some dudes made up to get money.

Read the article. These aren't your average, domesticated versions.

It's like having tigers pushed to extinction and you sit here thinking it's no big deal, they're just your average kitty cat, right?

And I quote, "According to The Pegasus Foundation, an organization advocating to ban donkey hide products, an estimated 8 to 10 million donkeys are killed and skinned each year to meet demand for ejiao."

Clearly, most of the 8 to 10M donkeys killed are not endangered. There are 40M donkeys in the world.

Just eat the non-endangered kinds, and may be captured some and domesticate them. Problem solved. And yes, it is no big deal.

If chickens, pigs, or cows were endangers then that'd be a problem too, yeah.

Since donkeys are not endangered (40M+ population in the world), there shouldn't be a problem eating them then, according to your logic. Good that we clear that up.

There are more than one kind of donkey.

Then eat the plentiful kind. Or catch the delicious kind and raise them in a factory. Treat them like pigs.

The problem is that where these products are getting sourced are where donkeys are not plentiful enough/are endangered.

Eat all the beans you want for personal reasons, but humans evolved with meat as a staple of their diet. Our biology is set up to eat meat.

We're not carnivores. We don't need meat just because we can utilize it well.

Kinda wrong. And knowing we can be healthy and strong without eating meat at all makes choosing to contribute to suffering and torture, not to mention ruining our planet with factory farms, etc., is just completely wrong.
