“There are virtually no laws against the abuse of animals on farms or in slaughterhouses in Kenya.” PETA says as activists urge Kenya to ban slaughter of donkeys
This file photo taken on February 28, 2017 shows donkey skins drying in the sun at a licenced specialised slaughterhouse in Baringo.
China is increasingly looking to Africa to satisfy demand as its own donkey population has nearly halved in recent years. "It started to happen across all corners of Africa, then even wider to Brazil, Peru, Pakistan, all over we were seeing the same photos, the same stories." In Tanzania, there had been cases of slaughterhouse workers using sledgehammers to kill donkeys, he added.
In East Africa, there were an estimated 2.4 million donkeys, and between Kenya's four slaughterhouses and illegal traders, an estimated 2,000 donkeys were killed daily, he added.If this continues, donkeys in the region could be wiped out in four years, said Mayers, adding donkeys were not like cows or goats that could be intensively bred.
