Chinese eatery sold donkey in tiger urine
September 8, 2005
SHANGHAI, China --A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh -- marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported Thursday.
The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Heidaohezi tiger reserve near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with chilies for $98as well as liquor flavored with tiger bone for $74 a bottle, the China Daily reported.
Raw meat was priced at $864 per kilogram.
The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner, Ma Shikun, that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavored with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" tang, the newspaper said.
The report didn't say how the urine was obtained.
Authorities confiscated the restaurant's profits and fined Ma $296 it said. It wasn't clear what Ma was fined for. Selling donkey meat is not illegal in China and it is widely consumed in the northeast.
Ma had initially claimed that the meat came from dead tigers sold to him by the management of the Heidaohezi reserve, but later changed his story, the report said.
While Heidaohezi's director denied that claim, the reserve, with about 150 tigers, has been involved in similar controversies in the past.
Until China outlawed the trade in 1993, the reserve received most of its revenue from the sale of tiger skins, bones and other body parts, which are believed by Chinese to imbue vigor and sexual prowess.

| Serves them right for wanting to eat an endangered animal. |

Why are some Asians so obsessed with eating endangered animals? Why are there so many freaks who want to do this, does anyone know?
I think it's related to an obession with virility and *beep* size but I'm open to other theories. |

They look so majestic and beautiful, how could anyone look down the sight of a shotgun and kill these beautiful creatures.

I think Robert Graves explains it best in "The Golden Bough". It amounts to magical thinking. |

Well, I remember reading an interview in which a high ranking member of the WWF stated that Asian men's penises (or did she use the word 'virility' instead) is the biggest threat to endangered species worldwide. Can't find the exact quote online. I remember reading the interview in one of the Canadian Wildlife Federation's magazines. The article discussed the poaching of Canadian grizzly bears. |

It's thus disappointing to note that the invention of Viagra has not done anything to quell these short-dick fools' desire for such meat. |

I'm looking for investors to start a couple of tiger feedlots to meet the demand. Does anyone want to make money? |

So good looking animals are more deserving of life? If the tiger was ugly and didn't look so majestic in national geographic photos, would you care? |
