Technically donkey skin. Used in health supplements. And I just don’t know anymore…
And here I thought I was living in America, Land of the Free!!!
What about the freedom of donkeys to have skin? I’m pretty sure that’s somewhere in the Constitution.
Maybe the Jackass Constitution.
Maybe it’s because the symbol of the Democrats is a donkey and Democrats run California and if they get skinned, Republicans will take over because the Democrats will all be dead and put into herbal health products on Amazon.
In which case, I support Gavin Newsom and his plan to save the California Democrats from being flayed and used in bogus health products.
Because they are always rushing’ around!
This isn’t a product I am looking for but why is this an issue when other animal based products are being sold? Cow products fine but donkey products aren’t?
I see there is a specific horse related law but why.
I’m more concerned about this being touted as a health product, especial an “herbal” one. Because there’s no evidence that it improves health and donkey skin isn’t an herb.
But really I just posted it because I thought it was an interesting story.
Yeah, I just glazed over that part, there are so many “health” products that are complete bunk on Amazon.

FTFY
Thanks, my mistake
Speciesists gonna discriminate arbitrarily, that’s kinda the whole deal with speciesism 🤷
This 2007 document seems to do a pretty good job at going over the motivations when the law was made. It’s a bit longer to read than I have time for right now, but it seems like it’s worth the time judging by the intro and background
That’s okay I started harvesting my own
It just tastes better that way.
My takeaway from this article is that, as it turns out, California has laws banning the consumption of equine meat. Man, what the hell? Horse is delicious and donkey is arguably even better. How is that any different than eating beef, sheep and so on?
