Reply to comment by nariusone in Amazon faces a lawsuit over products that fuel the donkey skin trade. by tandemuis365

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.
