IN THE NAME OF TRADITION AND SUPERSTITION
The roots of traditional Chinese medicine can be traced back several dynasties, with some estimating the practice as being over 4,000 years old. The use of wild animals in TCM poses a serious threat to many species across the globe, and many have already been wiped out, although most of these medicines have no proven medicinal benefits. The use of wildlife in TCM is systematically entrenched, as Chinese government agencies not only permit the use but essentially encourage this multibillion-dollar business.
