I agree, if only that were the case.

Most of the wild game trade is because of ancient beliefs that if you eat some animals you will absorb magical powers from it. --- Like eating Rhino horn to solve E.D. or eating bats to have a happy and long life.

When I was in China a guide told me that some women eat cheese to get bigger breasts (the association with the cow's udder).

Since the mid 20th century, China modernized agriculture enough to be able to feed themselves.

I understand in Africa eating monkeys have some kind of magical benefit (I forget just what was claimed).

And I can't blame just foreign people for being superstitious, we in the USA have our own superstitions, they just don't involve eating wild animals that I know of.
