Eating Bats.
When will wet markets be banned across the globe? As this photo from Indonesia shows, it's not just China. EVGENY LEBEDEV issues a call for action
Since I have begun to write on the urgent need to close live animal markets, I have been surprised by the support I have received from across the UK. Readers of The Mail on Sunday have written to say how strongly they agree about the threat of contagion they pose, and to offer ideas on how we can bring about an absolute crackdown on this vile trade. Others simply expressed disbelief. 'For goodness sake,' wrote one woman in an email, 'what pandemic are they going to give the world next?' The bats of Tomohon market are Indonesia's worst-kept secret, but the photograph revealed on this page still has the power to shock. The local 'it can't happen here' complacency with regard to a viral disease is dangerously misplaced. Bats are carriers of all sorts of viruses and pathogens. There are even reports that local authorities found another strain of coronavirus in the bats of Tomohon in 2018. Pictures: A wet market in Indonesia selling bats. Top right: An Indonesian woman looks on as bats hang for sale in a wet market.
