I very much doubt that it is illegals that represent the risk at present. Much more likely to be wealthy Chinese owning property in London. If you decide to eat things like bats for dinner then I think that you have to accept that you may get ill.

Supposedly the new 'thing' in China is to eat wild meat, Civet Cats, Snakes, Monkey etc.
The meat is supposedly more tasty and earthy.
So it would appear that this was just a time bomb looking for a location.
Oh well.

She was encouraged to hurry on.
Bear claws and elephant trunks were exclusive fare, snakes more like burgers.

Yummy yummy yummy, I've got bat in my tummy! I know the Chinese will eat nearly anything that moves, but you have to ask yourself where basic common sense has gone when 'learned lessons' are ignored and the mistakes repeated with disastrous results, especially for those not involved in any way.

Yes, many.
Don't think you're buying your bangers in the right places.
They don't all come on styrofoam trays, covered in shrink wrap plastic,
looking like a bunch of long dead fingers.
Damn, now thinking of bangers and mash for dins. HP sauce, butter.
