We don’t know what the correct label is for this type of dish, but Srisunaklua tore off the wings before chewing on the remaining animal.

Needless to say, his comments section was filled with shocked and disgusted viewers, at least one of whom lashed out at recalling the supposed origins of the coronavirus: “If you’re going to die, die alone. No one will blame you. But you’ll be damned if you start a pandemic.”

The video was removed from Srisunaklua’s page, but presumably by the Thai authorities was arrested for possession of carcasses of protected wild animals and for violating the Computer Crime Act 2007 by uploading the clip. If convicted, she faces up to 5 years behind bars.

After the video that made everyone’s stomachs turn was taken down, she uploaded an apology video.

Dr Patarapol Maneeorn, a wildlife veterinarian in Thailand, expressed grave concern about the many health risks involved, especially the fact that bats carry tons of pathogens, adding: “There is no evidence that hot water temperatures actually kill germs.”

The origin of Covid?

Although it is not yet known for certain which animal was the vector of the coronavirus outbreak, all eyes turned to the bat.

These animals – the only mammals capable of flight – had already been at the origin of other coronavirus epidemics.

At the beginning of this century, they were the cause of the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome, better known as SARS, which infected more than 8,000 people, of whom 800 died.

In the mid-2010s they were at the origin of another respiratory disease similar to SARS: Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), which affected fewer people (about 2,500) but was more lethal, killing more than 850 people .

Bats are used in traditional oriental medicine to treat a number of ailments, including coughs, malaria and gonorrhea. The animal’s feces are also believed to be able to cure eye diseases, according to the ancient masterwork of Chinese medicine Ben Cao Gang Mu.
