Just thinking that the climate stats will be interesting, one of the biggest polluters is basically grounded, air travel significantly cut. Didn’t the climate in America cool during the 9/11 flight ban?
Bet the Greta troll is loving it.

She doesn't give a fuck. Far from being convinced (as I am) that the world is about to end, she's busy trademarking her name and that of the organised school strike nonsense she inspired.
Why would she bother if we're all going to burn anyway?.

Amongst all the genuinely stomach churning things I've read, have we just agreed to never mention the above statement?
I'm not believing it was in Peru, or that it won't happen again.

I thought they ate Capybaras there and not actual guinea pigs

There must be hardly any meat on them.

The closest I've come to losing my lunch (unironically) is accidentally buying a
balut egg from a Vietnamese grocer in Melbourne.

It’s called Cuy and is a Peruvian speciality. But like I said, tiny & fiddly and really not worth the effort when chickens exist.

Who knew that those lovable, cute guinea-pigs look like rats without tails once they've been skinned.
But yeah, looks way too fiddly.

Guinea Pig doesn't look too appetising to me.
A trip around the market in Wuhan apparently. Or it could be hell.

It’s odd how the market vendors all take their dogs to work, would have thought it would be seen as unhygienic.

Those poor dogs.
Now I like cats but strangely I have few qualms about people eating them. Perhaps because even the really nice ones are major league cunts.
Dogs though, it's just not right. There's no excuse for it.
We've suffered hard times before and have had to make do with such food substitutes as pasta and baked potatoes.
You can get by, for a while.
Even in my darkest hours I've never looked at a dog and wondered what it tastes like. Even a dead one.

Chinese pulled pork. I won't link the video as it's actually quite upsetting.
China has no laws relating to animal cruelty.

Not the best advertisement for the bungee platform, the pig didn't look happy afterwards at all.

Just transferring through Dubai and a group of Chinese tourists have t-shirts on saying “humans, not a disease”.
I kept a wide berth to be sure.
