Seoul Government Inspects Find No Evidence of Bat Meat Being Sold in Traditional Markets

At least it appears that Korean traditional markets are not selling bat meat which is what is believed to have caused the coronavirus outbreak in China:

The Seoul Metropolitan Government conducted a rare inspection of restaurants in the city’s three major traditional markets, Wednesday, for the possible illegal consumption of bat meat, as part of its efforts to prevent the spread of a coronavirus, according to city officials.

On Wednesday, three additional cases of infection were confirmed here, putting the total number at 19. 

The inspection team consisting of city officials overseeing hygiene matters, police and consumer rights activists looked into restaurants in Daerim Central Market in Yeungdeungpo, Gyeongdong Market in Dongdaemun and Joyang Market in Gwangjin; areas that are frequented by Chinese immigrants and tourists.

The selling of bat meat is illegal here, but the inspection was carried out on suspicions that small quantities could potentially be brought to those venues from China. The officials said that so far they had not found any irregularities.

They’re not traditional markets but Korean-Chinese restaurants (in a traditionally Korean-Chinese area) illegally making wild bat dishes.

Inspectors didn’t find anything is different than it isn’t available… And maybe not finding the source of a deadly pandemic is “the better part of valor” as they say?

Now. What about other odd “dietary rodents”? Reptiles? Chinese birds?

I like how crooked Mayor Park wants to blame Korean Chinese for the coronavirus but happily supports an open borders policy by Commie Moon.
