The Chinese man who started the first donkey slaughterhouse in Kenya has passed away. Jing was the owner of Goldox Ltd, a donkey slaughterhouse, in Mogotio, which he started in 2013 on a 10-acre land. His multimillion slaughterhouse and Chinese restaurants have employed hundreds of youth in Baringo and Nakuru. The gelatine from donkey skin is a key ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine “Ejiao”. Donkey skin goes for between Sh30,000-Sh50,000 in the black market, depending on the donkey’s weight.
