The gelatine produced from the donkey hides is used to make bars, liquids, pills, tonics, beauty products, and sweet syrups.<\/p>\n<p>Nair said the National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) currently has seven active cases relating to the illegal donkey skin trade, with the most recent involving 100 donkeys that were saved from being smuggled in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The society is particularly concerned that the animals are usually not stunned to unconsciousness prior to slaughtering, as required by law. &#8220;Instead, the animals are stabbed in the head with screwdrivers or crudely and unreliably bludgeoned and then skinned.<\/p>\n<p>During the investigation of one of our cases, a qualified veterinarian confirmed, after he had conducted an autopsy, that the donkeys were most likely still alive at the time they were skinned,&#8221; said Nair. During inspections in villages and communities where donkeys are prevalent, the NSPCA has found fewer donkeys on each visit.<br \/>\nWhile the slaughter of equines for human consumption for their hides is legal, it can only be done at registered abattoirs, of which South Africa only has two, which also generally have a low slaughter rate.<br \/>\n\u201cFor the number of skins that are found or that are leaving our borders it is safe to say that it is being done illegally,\u201d said Nair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
