Recently, it has been noticed that donkey meat is being served as food in hotels. Following this, traders complained that even though we offer beef, it is donkey meat, but we faced a slowdown in business and losses.

At Addis Ababa Hotel, food users were heard saying that their desire to eat meat has stopped. This is also due to the fear that donkey meat was found being mixed in slaughterhouses and sold to the community. Brock Ethiopia, an international humanitarian organization for the protection and welfare of animals. He added, "In the past two weeks, one or three slaughterhouses have been found, identified, and started selling donkey meat." How can the society think that in a country where donkey meat is allowed, donkey meat is not mixed and sold in a country where donkey meat is allowed? What guarantee do you have for this proof? How do you filter the donkey meat so that it does not mix with other cattle meat? What is the warranty? He offered to the organization to clarify the questions. How did the organization's ministerial director Ato Yohannes Kasim respond? - There is no study that Brooke has studied that shows that donkey meat has entered Ethiopia's food system. - We doubt the accuracy of this information. Because if it is true, it would be necessary to make the person who conveyed the information provide evidence for the information they said. - If it turns out, the health crises that can be transmitted are serious. Who took action? They had to try all the questions. Tikvah Ethiopia's attempt to ask the organization's consulting and development specialist, Love Kefferawe, what explanation they have, was unsuccessful. Relatedly, if donkeys are being slaughtered and their bones are being exported, why is there a need for donkey slaughter in Ethiopia? If there is a donkey slaughter in a country, it is difficult to prevent the meat from being mixed and served as food. It has been noticed that such questions have been raised by the community, and Tikvah Ethiopia has submitted a request to Brock Ethiopia to provide an explanation for this idea. In his response, the director of the organization said, "We have a position that donkeys should not be slaughtered for their skins. They should be slaughtered seriously, even if they are slaughtered in the country, they should be free from this risk. The organization has a strong position that donkeys should not be slaughtered." Is the donkey slaughter going to stop? - Here we do not have the job you asked for in our company. The organization is working to stop the donkey skin trade at the international level. - For example, the company has an office in Kenya. A donkey slaughterhouse in Kenya has been closed. Tanzania's donkey slaughterhouse has been closed. Uganda is closed. Botuswana is closed. Many countries are taking positive action in closing donkey slaughterhouses to stop the donkey skin trade. - The African Union has proposed a resolution to stop the donkey skin trade at the African level. - From the importance they are giving, from culture, religion and other things, the society takes them. Beyond that, the benefits these animals are providing are high. - The animals carry grain, provide transport services for farming, and the life of the rural community in general is linked to these animals. - Kenya has lost 15 percent of its donkey population in two years. China has lost about 70 percent of its donkey population. In Ethiopia, the problem is not significant. There are 8.8 million donkeys in Ethiopia. They are few in number. Therefore, starting from other countries, we are saying that the problem should be solved before it comes to us. What kind of donkeys are slaughtered? Doesn't killing them cause damage to the rural community? Government-licensed donkey slaughterhouses have been observed saying that the donkeys they slaughter are old, with skinned backs, and that their lives have passed, so they will not cause harm to the rural community. However, Brock Ethiopia confirmed to Tikvah Ethiopia that healthy donkeys are also being slaughtered in the global trend. - We don't have information on what kind of donkeys the Asela donkey slaughterhouse is slaughtering. Because it is very difficult to find information on this matter. - The international trend shows that, for example, in Kenya, our company has an office there and they are very cooperative in taking information, 1,000 healthy donkeys were slaughtered per day. - I think that agriculture should verify the information available in Ethiopia, said Ato Yohannes. Tikvah Ethiopia Tikvah Ethiopia asked the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture about the response to the donkey slaughter and the seasonal controversy in Ethiopia, but they refused to respond.
