Turtles butchered alive at “medieval” wet markets as World Turtle Day approaches
Reading now: 213
World Turtle Day is being celebrated this week – while they are still being butchered in “medieval” wet markets. This year’s event will be highlighting the turtles’ treatment in China, where market traders routinely cut off their shells while they are still alive.
A campaign spokesman said: “Turtles at live food markets are routinely stacked four and five deep, without food or water and butchered while fully conscious. “These markets are not only in China but exist throughout North America and many other countries.” One unconfirmed theory is that Covid-19 originated from illegally traded bat or pangolin meat at a live animal market in Wuhan.
