"Some say that this is no more cruel or dangerous than factory farming.." FACTORY FARMING IS BEYOND CRUEL!! God, I hate people......

Stop wildlife trade. Ban keeping wildlifes as pets.

been in these places they are nothing like Chinese wet markets most are sold as pets not saying its all ok but this is misinformation

Them poor animals, the world should stop this.

This clip gonna confuse viewers outside of Bangkok. Klongtoey market is a wet market but live animals sold there are mostly poultry (No live dogs for food sold there). That part of Jatujak market is a PET market (not a wet market); live animals (and some of those exotic animals) sold there are for pet not food and most of them are legal. Yes there are very few shops selling endangered wild life but rarely and illegally; so they mostly did it under the closed door.

Misleading and misinformation vdo. Intentionally discrediting Thailand????? Go research better and don’t share these false info :(((

How can they eat ? After watching this I feel vomiting.

I really hope someone is helping these animals. I saw a picture on google of bunnies and it led me to this video in hopes that someone is doing something to change this mistreatment.

I don’t think animal in Jatujack Market are for being eaten because in Thailand if u eat dog meat or cat meat or killed them and many other law that protects the animal that can make u go to jail. Again don’t agree what the market did to the animal but I just want to correct things. Because we Thai people don’t eat random things okay 👌 and we love animal as pets not food and I don’t understand why foreign television just like to make my country look so bad And their country are so good like look "we are the good people” and like to make it look really bad than the reality is (in this case it is really bad but they want to make it worse and make people in their country believe it)

Next go to a pig farm and ask if it's the next epicenter of H1N1. Then go talk to a poultry farmer and bark the query whether hers/his is another avian influenza birthplace in the making. Heck, go to the Congo forest and ask the trees whether another Ebola outbreak is brewing. While it's repulsive what's going on with wildlife trade, the declaration, "it is places like *this* that the next pandemic could start" carries that activist undertone that's an immediate turnoff. Damn colonials.

I mean Chatuchak is a place where they sell pet😑 We don't eat 'em goddammit. I'm Thai and I've been there countless time. It's true that some of the places where they sell animals look dirty af but WE DONT EAT WILD ANIMALS LIKE CHINESE just because we're asian doesn't mean we are like chinese🙄 people these days..giving false information about things that you don't rly know abt it is like normal thing now huh? shame.

I don’t think in Bangkok life animal Jatujack market animals there’re for eating, they’re for people to look after and take care of them when their brought it and take them home, not for eating for sure. I’m not agree with what happen there but Chanel 4 news should get they fact stead.

So disgusting its hard to watch!

Fake news, bad excuse for journalism

We freak out in the West on how ppl in the east get their meat. Well I have worked in meat processing plants here in USA and it's pretty unsanitary and if everyone saw how their meat was prepared, they'd freak out on that too

I wonder if Channel 4 could go undercover in America's factory farm where entire animals are put in a mechanical grinder.

Wait a minute I lives not far from this fresh market I have never seen snake or dog like that. Its not from this market. Plus from another Pet Market called Jatujak JJ Market no one eat. I knew some r illegal I'm not support this too but They bought as a pet. Not meant to consume.

This video is misleading people. You can’t find dogs and cats in the Thai fresh market. Lucky that in the video doesn’t have people sitting there, otherwise you might think they eat human too. Guys please use you brain when you see something like this.

Sickens me, the way these animals are treated, not one ounce of humanity spared. DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL.

Something is wrong with these F-ing people!! There is no amount of money in the world that would make me want to do this or eat this! This is coming from a person who grew up poor, God help us.

I have no words for wuhan or China or any other of there countrys

As a Thai, this is funny.. you can see that they separate the area for animals as food / pets... trying to correct others by spreading misleading info? hmmm better research before uploading!

Where is human birth control urgently?

Why do you have to be specific to Thailand, even though this kind of market is all over Asia? or around the world (Especially in Africa)​

Jesus Christ. This is why I'm vegan.

The Wild Life officer has a smile on his face, even he doesn't take it seriously. All countries need to ban this together

This is so sad. Pure cruelty. This is why I’m vegan

Those poor dogs at 1:35. How were they killed? No trauma to their bodies makes me think they boiled or roasted them alive. Evil bastards, they torture animals to death like this all over Eastern Asia.

This is so misleading. I live in bangkok and the pet trade and meat trade are in totally different places and have nothing to do with each other. A lot of what is said in this is simply bullshit. It's a meat market... this is where meat comes from. And separately there are pet stores... this is a story out of nothing, little more than clickbait. Plus the evidence that it came from eating a bat is thin at best.

As long as we keep torturing animals or simply by watching those who abuse those wild animals and do nothing we will all pay high price each time and for each decade until we learn the damn the lesson and stop all this once and for all.

Human kill and slaughtering of animals caused coronavirus, be kind to animals

This is misleading information. I have report this video for stop post something bs like this

This is so sad. So inhumane, what’s wrong with those people? I’d like to see them locked up in a cage with each other if they do that to innocent animals.

If you don't have a choice, work in dry markets where you sell fruits and vegetables and have a MUCH lower chance of being patient zero and you won't have to treat poor animals badly!

Why are these people that run these markets so greedy? Also why can't the people that buy the animals for food just eat dominos? What makes them so special?

THAILAND BANNED EATING CAT AND DOG MEAT.. PRISON OFFENCE.

There is a dark corner in every country.

you should report the facts not mix up the context of the laces you report about which make people misunderstand

I wish they weren't allowed to sell animals. Just shut them down. All animals aren't food

I really wish this didn't pop on on my recommendations 🥴

Even if you ban wildlife trading there's still black market. Drugs are illegal but people still do them.

You need to get more correctly information, not just judge! Poor news channel!

I think these live animals are sold as pets though. Thai people don't spend hundreds of $ for meat when chicken and pork are insanely cheap.

Its since been proven it came from a lab, not a wet market... This video didn't age well

WE NEED TO STOP THIS

Propaganda to close the markets of the poor and give the business to big malls and get tax money!

Please ban any market that sell wildlife and sht conditions!

It’s horrible when death sets you free.

How much more close them all down no good will come from this appalling vruelty

I find so many people insisting upon just the animals trade to stop... The problem is if you don't raise the standards of those hard working labours class people who hardly live with hand to mouth existence, you can't stop such things...

Let the animal live and let them be free in their natural habitat and not constrained in some cramped cages and knowing they are not going to see their loved ones again.😡

It's ok the Chinese will soon be here, to show them how it's really done!

How the news and this channel presents mixed photos from other markets? Who approve to present this news?

God I'll be having nightmares for days because of this. I can't believe they are still allowing street butchers & animals in cages like this😡

Stop international travel and trade. How do you educate people who eat giant rodents. We are clearly not all in this together. Wake up people.

It's like a zoo with such rare animals to be killed for food..

We’re not sell animal for food in Chatuchak market. This video makes people that don’t know about Thailand confuse. In Chatuchak they sell the pet!

You created a video clip that is not true, Thailand doesn't eat pets and has very serious laws if animal abuse, so I think, you should stop directing viewers to be stupid, with videos your foolishness.

THE UNITED STATES ALSO CATS, DOGS, AND BATS 9 Countries That Eat Cats and Dogs April 11, 2014 By Serusha Govender In some parts of the world eating fluffy cats and dogs is considered perfectly acceptable… and delicious! Eating cats and dogs is not only extremely popular in Taiwan but there is a prolific underground trade supplying strays to local restaurants and meat vendors across the country. The meat is usually added to other, more conventional meat dishes for added flavor. For the record, the government has passed legislation banning the practice, but it still persists and is very popular, particularly in smaller towns and villages. The United States Yes, even in some parts of the U.S. you’ll find people that are completely okay with eating puppies. There’ve been reports aplenty, in particular, across Hawaii about people eating stray cats and dogs for years. There are also plenty of pets that are kidnapped for human consumption. An eight-year-old Labrador named Caddy was recently dog-napped from an equipment shack at a golf course (where his owner left him while he was teeing off) by local landscape workers who butchered and ate him. Hawaii’s house committee recently tried to pass a bill banning the eating of cats and on the island, but it was shelved because there was too little concrete, legislative evidence of the practice (meaning that while it does happen a lot, not everyone goes to jail for it so there aren’t formal records). It takes the American “hot dog” to a whole new level, no? We’re familiar with the idea of huskies pulling sled teams through the furious snow drifts of the Poles. The harsh weather conditions make it the sort of place where certain winter dog breeds thrive and humans couldn’t really get by without them. Yet, when the going gets particularly tough, the tough get going… all the way to the soup pot. Historically, dogs have been used as an emergency food source in parts of Siberia, Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland for centuries, so it’s really a tried and tested formula. Hot Rod's BBQ is a family-owned restaurant in Lutz, Fla., that serves a variety of smoked and grilled items - including fruit bat. Dave Lyle, 30, has worked at Hot Rod's since they opened over 15 years ago.

Where's PETA?

The same game in Africa, please google "Bushmeat Africa". It is even worse there than in Asia....;((

Whilst it's absolutely hideous to see, I'm glad this place is being exposed on a global scale. The world needs to act against this as no living creature which will become food should be treated like this.... At least give them a nice respectful life up until they are ended sheeesh....

This VDO just confused and missdleading. How they mixed up both market without clear explanation and clear information for both market, both are totally not the same area way far out from each other and different proposed. How come you make this as a news content without more information research. And present it as a resent news.

whiether you think it’s messed up or not bro forget all that imagine the viruses and diseases in wet markets. there needs to be something done because as we seen time and time again, one wet market can affect the whole world. stop wet markets is inhumane and disgusting.

Bless all those animals .

Covid right here !!!! Get your covid right here !!!!

All animals in Chatuchak market is not wild animal anymore because we have a lot of breeder who can breeding them, These animals are lovely PET AND WE DONT EAT PET FFS.

Why can’t they take these people and cage them see what it’s like the govonor and president are sick

The Capybara near the end of your video, grow much larger than that one. They're the largest rodent in the world. Sad to see it in a cage :(

Wet Markets are a cultural issue. Asking them to close would be like asking America to close baseball. The people need to be educated. This education must be mandatory. Afterward, all wet markets must be strictly regulated and inspected. Those that are not compliant with wet market regulations will suffer punitive action and closed on a case by case basis.

Hi people, how are you ? Report it if you know anything of mistreatment of animalsto the police, on the internet or in person. It doesn't matter what neighborhood, city or country you are in. This is cruelty and evil against defenseless animals that only give us love. This cannot go on. For me, this is the same as committing crimes and cruelties against children. See if the products have the cruelty free seon. It doesn't matter if they are companies, industries or biotery. -

Do you know the original source of corona virus? If you don’t know you can ask prime minister of more than 100 countries which are asking to China.

Hope collaborative efforts will be put out by all countries to condemn global wildlife trade.

What we need is a joint effort between all the countries that are against wet markets and a refusal to trade until closure.

You can't help but wonder where the animals come from in the first place

It’s horrible but can we just agree that COVID CAME FROM A LAB!

There is absolutely no difference between a factory processing beef, sheep, goats, chicken, turkey and seafood in the same warehouse/facility in the West. These countries have been practicing these methods for decades. In fact theirs are the real sence of organic foods. These animals are not subjected to chemicals used to preserve its meats in the west, where freshness never be guaranteed. One cannot simply have fish or chicken any fresher than what they serve and sell in these countries. If we want to point fingers, perhaps we need to look at laboratories in China not these peasant farmers in Thailand or Africa that have be doing this for centuries. The truth about this virus will eventually come out, and I guarantee it is not going to be from these markets.

Covid 19 did not start in a wet market!

LET ONE OF THOSE ANIMAL ACTIVIST STARVE... THEN LET THEM SEE THEM EATING A RAT, CHICKEN OR BATS...

Shoud put those butchers and abusers in cages and feed them to the snakes

Somebody should regime change them to liberate their animals. All nations are not the same.

go vegan, simple, end of discussion, for the animals and for the planet

Do you know what all those wet market sellers have in common? Their ambition outweighs their talent.

this is different they breed them up north, a family friend has a shop there, this a not the truth and Servals are legal bc they have PERMITSS from Cities to sell and breed! STOP LIYING to people that dont know better

Oh dangerous makes in Thailand but the death toll is 55 !! How many in UK?!

Horrible

Channel 4 you absolute muppets you confused turkeys with vultures

They need stronger laws, against animal cruelty. All Asia.

Fun fact!!! There's more tigers in the US than in the wild combined.

I wish that would stop killing these animals for for they're convinces it is so cruel and evil

There is no toxic laboratory next door like in whuhan

Misleading information! That section of Chatuchak Market is pet market. They are not sold to be eaten. As for separate clips of wet markets (not Chatuchak market), wet markets have been there forever long before the presence of supermarkets and that is very common in asia. It's like fresh food market. Mainly you will find pork, beef, lamb, chicken, fish, and seafood. At certain places, you might find something exotic like snakes and mices, but it's not widely eaten or common. However, it is nothing like Wuhan wild life market.

Corruption

It's pet not for eat, however shouldn't sale

It isnt difficult to enforce the trade. They are being paid very well to turn a blind eye.

That’s just gross. Yup that’s how diseases are spread very sad. And people are ok with this, so messed.....new laws and new leaders are needed badly.

these have existed for thousand years. mankind used to feed on whatever they could get before farming

Aye well don't you worry your pretty head about that just get your lenses focused on the Tories and the thousands who already needlessly died.

Unbelievable cruelty.....

Lost every respect for channel 4 after this was shown. 2 different trade. Animal trades is fucking illegal across the whole of Thailand and aren’t in our fresh markets
