The donkey or ***
Donkey-hide gelatin or ***-hide glue (Latin: colla corii asini) is gelatin obtained from the skin of the donkey (equus asinus) by soaking and stewing. It is used as an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine,where it is called ejiao(simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ē jiāo).

The gelatin is produced in several coastal provinces of China: Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong. Shandong's Dong'e County was where "ejiao" got its name and the most famous.

According to a ca. 1723 account by the French Jesuits Dominique Parrenin, there was a well in Dong'e which was normally kept closed and sealed, and which was only opened when water was taken to be used in preparation of ejiao for the emperor's court.

Manufacture
According to Parennin, the product was traditionally prepared during the late fall and winter (from after the harvest and until the beginning of March). It was supposed to be made from the skin of a recently killed well-nourished black donkey.

Ejiao is either prepared as dry gelatin or mixed with powdered oyster shell or pollen to form glue balls. It tastes sweet.


In the 21st century, ejiao manufacturers experience problems with the supply of genuine donkey hides, as fewer people raise these animals these days. The decreasing supply combined with strong demand for ejiao has led to greatly increased prices for donkey hides in China. This trend is also supported by restrictions on importing animal hides from outside the country. Qin Yufeng, the chairman of a major ejiao manufacturer and a member of Shandong's provincial legislature, has advocated for government support for donkey husbandry.

Donkey thefts and population declines
In the mid-2010s, donkey prices in many places around the world began to rise sharply amid Chinese herbalism demands. Uganda, Tanzania, Botswana, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal have banned donkey exports to China.
Applications
It is used for several different types of complaint. An amount of 5 to 10 grams may be dissolved in hot water or wine and mixed with other ingredients in the traditional Chinese materia medica or taken alone. It is used for a variety of conditions including bleeding, dizziness, insomnia and a dry cough.

The edible form of ejiao is often mixed with almonds and sesame seeds and served as a snack that in Shandong. It can also be used as an edible coating fordates, producing another type of snack.

Quite a few manufacturers produce an ejiao bar called "Gu Yuan Gao" (固元膏) in Shandong province. Gu Yuan Gao is a bar made up of ejiao, nuts, sesame, Chinese dates and cooking wine.

It is also used for applying di mo, a special paper-like musical reed membrane, to the dizi, a transverse Chinese flute; it dries quickly, holds quite firmly, and is water-soluble, allowing later replacement of di mo.

The molecular basis for its usage in treating anemia has been shown at least in part from the peptidic components combining multiple approaches. The hematopoietic effect of Colla Corii Asini may benefit cancer patients suffering from myelosuppression due to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Dolphin slaughter turns sea red as Japan hunting season returns
Taiji's annual cull of bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales continues despite growing international condemnation.
The tarpaulin covers have been meticulously erected, but they can't completely mask the brutality of the slaughter unfolding below. Even from the clifftop, it is possible to hear the hunters' voices and the thrashing of tail fins as their prey make a final, fruitless bid for freedom.

Occasionally a hunter emerges into the gaps between the covers, grimacing as he plunges his knife into the water. Minutes earlier the sea around him was emerald green. Now it is turning a deep crimson, the morning air tainted with the stench of freshly drawn mammal blood.
