From the Oct. 03, 2005 issue of TIME Asia Magazine
TIME Asia 雜誌 10月3日號
 
中國人喜吃野味,令亞洲的瀕危野生動物地下市場一片興旺,在東南亞走私出口的野生動物,八成都運到中國去。經過SARS一疫之後,位於廣州市的 Guangzhou Snake Bird Animal Fair Market(廣州蛇鳥獸類交易市場) 的野味買賣似乎有所收歛,但是只要一個電話,便可以將世界各地的野味,從巴西龜到穿山甲,在數小時內弄到指定的酒家。
 
Eating Disorder
 
China's appetite for exotic wildlife has spawned a thriving black market in Asia's endangered species. Will pangolin be eaten into extinction?    
 
BY SIMON ELEGANT | PALEMBANG
 
‘Now, two years after SARS, the wildlife trade is back in full swing, albeit more discreetly than before. Take the Guangzhou Snake Bird Animal Fair Market, the largest animal market in southern China. While many of the market's sellers appeared to be idling away their time one recent day, playing mahjong or smoking, their mobiles rang regularly as restaurants or familiar customers placed orders. "Now deals are usually carried out at dawn or dusk to avoid government inspectors," says Lao Xu, who sells hunting tridents and fermenting jars at the market. "If you want any wild animal, from Brazil turtles to pangolin, I can arrange for it to be delivered to your designated restaurant within several hours."’
