PSA: Wal-Mart recalls donkey meat in China - haikuman - 01-02-2014

LONDON (CNNMoney)
Wal-Mart is recalling donkey meat in China after it was found to be contaminated with other animal products
.
Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) said it was recalling the meat in Jinan, the provincial capital of Shandong. The company apologized to customers and said it would provide refunds.
The retailer said in a statement that one of its suppliers -- Dezhou Fujude Food Company Limited -- had produced and provided Wal-Mart China and other distributors with donkey meat containing fox DNA.
Wal-Mart said it immediately removed the product from shelves and is cooperating with food safety authorities' investigation.
In a statement posted on Weibo -- China's popular Twitter (TWTR)-style micro blogging site -- the company said it had "zero-tolerance" for contamination problems. It said it was stepping up its food safety efforts by introducing routine DNA testing of easily adulterated meat products such as beef, mutton, donkey and venison.

As surprising as it may be, there is already an active discussion of Donkey and Fox meat.

It's hard to believe there would be enough Donkeys to supply a Donkey meat supply. Is this something
that's commonplace in the Chinese diet?

so what's wrong with eating foxes in China?

Why is no one else concerned as I am about the super donkey-fox species being bred in China?

I, for one, welcome our new donkey-fox overlords.
I will have to do a little searching, China was eating civet cats. They were linked to the outbreak of SARS. I am guessing that "fox meat" is code for "civet cat meat" and that is the true reason for the concern.

I think that putative link may not have panned out. Last I heard they were pointing the finger at bats or something else.
