Resumo

A crescente demanda por ejiao – uma gelatina produzida a partir da pele de jumento e usada na medicina tradicional chinesa – está colocando em risco as populações globais de jumentos e ameaçando a subsistência de milhões de pessoas que dependem delas em países de renda média e baixa. Centenas de milhares de jumentos são abatidos para obter suas peles e exportados anualmente, principalmente da África para a China. No entanto, o comércio está se espalhando pelo globo, inclusive para o Brasil. Este artigo destaca as péssimas condições de bem-estar para os jumentos apanhados no comércio legal e ilegal, bem como os efeitos sobre as pessoas vulneráveis e o potencial de propagação de doenças e riscos para a saúde humana.
