Mississauga: Protest for Donkeys Suffering in the Ejiao Industry!
Join PETA and local activists in urging Beijing Tong Ren Tang to stop selling ejiao, a traditional Chinese remedy made of donkey hide, in their store. Donkeys are suffering from horrific abuse and dying in China so that their skin can be sold to leading pharmaceutical companies in the country, where they’re boiled down to make gelatin for ejiao.
A new shocking PETA expose shows donkeys standing in their own dung and urine, with only filthy algae-filled water available for them to drink. One donkey who was to be slaughtered for ejiao was so malnourished that his ribs stuck out. Another was so sick that she couldn’t walk, so she was dumped into the bucket of a tractor and helplessly hauled away. Workers confided to an investigator that they were concerned that environmental inspectors would fine the facility or shut it down.
There is another protest at a site on the other side of town earlier in the day too.
