Bat meat
Fact check 之後, 為文作答
There is no such
industry in China. According to wiki:
Bat meat is not especially popular in
China. It has been contested whether or not the Huanan Seafood
Wholesale Market, suspected as
having ties with the COVID-19 outbreak, sold bat meat. According to some sources bat meat was never sold in
the market, and it has been reported that the bats are not a
common food source in the city of Wuhan.
Some media outlets, including Daily Mail and RT, promoted a
video that showed a young Chinese woman eating a bat and suggested it was shot
in Wuhan, but later it was confirmed that the footage was filmed by travel vlogger Wang
Mengyun in the island country of Palau in 2016, to showcase local cuisine
Bats are eaten by people in parts of some Asian, African,
Pacific Rim countries and cultures, including Vietnam, Seychelles, Indonesia, Palau,
Thailand, China, and Guam. Half
the megabat (fruit bat) species are hunted for food, but only eight
percent of the insectivorous bat species. In Guam, Mariana fruit bats (Pteropus mariannus) are considered a delicacy.
