Seething animal rights activists have released distressing footage that appear to show bleeding and rotting animals, including bats, in wet markets across Asia.
Taken during the coronavirus pandemic, the harrowing clip shows animals including ducks, bats, monkeys, snakes and chickens covered in blood.
Campaign group PETA, which shared the videos from six countries, has called for wet markets to be banned across the world - saying they are a breeding ground for pathogens which could cause another deadly disease to spread.
Releasing the footage taken in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam during the month of April, PETA said "exotic" animals remain on sale in spite of the Covid-19 outbreak.
