Because of China

Tönnies is going to cut bear meat

June 21, 2017 - Wouter Baan - 3 comments

The German meat company Tönnies has adjusted the payout price of bear meat downwards. Bear suppliers are worse off than before. 

According to the ISN, the representative of German pig farmers, the payout price will fall between 4 and 6 cents per kilo. It concerns both mature and less mature boars. More mature animals are probably worse off. According to the German media, this decision probably stems from the fact that bear meat is performing poorly on the Chinese market.

now it is really time to tackle the boar taint detection properly, the soldering iron method is as leaky as a basket, the bear discount is used to push the meat through the market with stunt prices, and not for good detection and processing of a number of stinkers.

It would be best to castrate again and then the fuss will be over and the best for the consumer and no more stinking mess. Those who don't eat meat make the most noise, if that continues, this problem will destroy the farmer

Totally hit the nail on the head. It is also the intention of the proponents of non-neutering, that the meat-eating completely stops. That's best for the animals. Why don't we slaughter them too?
You can no longer respond.
