Chinese Donkey Abattoir in Ethiopia Lodges Complaint with PMSeptember 17, 2017 - Shandong Dong Group, a Chinese donkey abattoir, which was closed after a nationwide social media campaign, has lodged a complaint with the Prime Minster office, according to the Ethiopian weekly news paper, the reporter. Shandong obtained its investment license in 2014 from the then Ethiopian Investment Agency with a registered capital of 62.6 million birr. After the closure of its slaughterhouse, however, the company has managed to export 75 tons of donkey meat to China. “I hope you could help us re-open our donkey abattoir, and make for a good investment environment,” adds the letter. This slaughterhouse by Chinese investors was said to be offensive to the sensibilities of people who live near the facility, eventually leading to its closure.
