DECIMATION OF THE
DONKEYS: 4 MILLION ANIMALS ARE SLAUGHTERED EVERY YEAR TO MAKE CHINESE “MIRACLE”
YOUTH SERUM
There are a lot of
donkeys that every week arrive in Dong’e, northen China, an appalling
multi-billion-pound industry, from all over the world.
These donkeys are
killed because, in their skin, there is a substance called ejiao, which is a
supposedly youth-preserving gelatin. The boss of one factory boasted that he
sold £140 million of ejiao products last year.
Ten thousand men
and women are employed at this factories in Dong’e, where skins are boiled and
liquefied to make health snacks, powders and face creams that Chinese people
believe are the key to long life and lasting beauty. There is no medical
evidence to support this belief.
‘Our only concern
is that one day soon there won’t be any more donkeys left to kill,’ he said.
Tragically, he wasn’t exaggerating. For centuries seen as symbols of peace and
humility, donkeys are being massacred across the world with industrial
callousness.
Taking the advantage
of what we have been doing in class, the project about beauty, I’ve considered
this new really appropriated to talk about.
First of all I
could say that there is no need to use animals for human whims, and I think it’s a very selfish behavior. So, if we are infatuated with something, we can’t hurt
other living beings. This only strengthen the idea that humanity is killing the
same world that has given life to us.
And in the other
hand, I don’t understand why people continues to dream on an infinity beauty.
Why they don’t accept that ageing is unavoidable and it take a part in the
course of a lifetime. They must be worried to enhance as a person and be gentle
and pleasant with those who loves them, because, at the end, you can be really
beauty and youth but if you are alone, you still being nothing. Maybe, be
nobody is the worst thing can happen to anyone.
