The frikin Chinese and their wacky medicinal beliefs have just about killed off the Rhino and Elephant now it going after the Donkey.

More than half the world's donkey population could be wiped out in five years due to rising demand in Chinese medicine, charity Donkey Sanctuary has warned.
Nearly five million skins are used every year to make ejiao, a gel believed to be a health remedy, putting enormous strain on donkey populations around the world.
It is thought that ejiao, which was once the preserve of emperors but is now sought after by the middle classes, can help cure anything from colds to ageing.
You can always count on Africans to be abusing animals. :x
I forgot The Gorillas and large Chimps that are killed for their hands and organs along with Bears killed for gall bladder and paws.
Too bad the Chinese cannot figure what to do with politicians tongue's and lawyers eyes

Sam, the name of that concoction doesn't sound very Chinese to me. Sounds more Spanish or Mexican??
Don't ever go to Africa if you like animals. Africans treat their animals very harshly. Their favorite thing is to whip them with a broken fan belt.
I went off on a guy in Kenya for beating his Donkey(I know that sounds funny). I walked up behind him and grabbed a stick he was hitting it with and pulled it out of his hand and told him in swahilli I was going to beat his * with it. He took off running from a crazy muzinga.
