This isn't a product I am looking for but why is this an issue when other animal based products are being sold? Cow products fine but donkey products aren't?
I see there is a specific horse related law but why.
I'm more concerned about this being touted as a health product, especial an "herbal" one. Because there's no evidence that it improves health and donkey skin isn't an herb.
But really I just posted it because I thought it was an interesting story.
Yeah, I just glazed over that part, there are so many "health" products that are complete bunk on Amazon.
FTFY
Thanks, my mistake
