A Thai blogger could be jailed for up to five years for taping herself eating a whole bat in a bowl of soup.
Phonchanok Srisunaklua uploaded the one minute and 40 second clip to her Gin Zap Bep Nua Nua (Eat spicy and delicious) YouTube channel where the dead animals are seen floating in a mud-coloured soup with cherry tomatoes, according to the Daily Mail.
The gross footage also shows her saying the bats are delicious and later she rips them apart and dips them in sauce.
It gets even worse, with the woman biting into the bones and then claiming they are soft.
The responses weren’t pretty.
One person said: “You put yourself at risk. If you get sick don’t bother burdening doctors and nurses.”
Veterinarian Pattaraphon Manee-on, head of the wildlife health management group at the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, told the Daily Mail: “I was shocked to see it in the clip now.
“Because the incident should not happen both in Thailand and around the world, it is very risky behavior, especially as bats have a lot of pathogens.”
He said just touching the saliva, blood and skin is risky.
According to some experts, bats are said to carry over 10,000 viruses that could be transmitted to humans and start another pandemic.
Now the YouTuber, who is also a teacher, has now been arrested for “possession of protected wildlife carcasses” and “crimes violating the Computer Crimes Act (2007),” according to the Daily Mail.
The woman later apologized for the video.

City has accrued hundreds of millions of dollars in pandemic-related costs

Toronto needs a commitment for more funding from senior levels of government by the end of the month to avoid “an unprecedented and inflationary property tax increase” and extreme severe service and program cuts, Mayor John Tory says.
In a bluntly worded open letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford and federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland released Thursday, Tory said the city has accrued hundreds of millions of dollars in pandemic-related costs that it can’t cover on its own without significant impacts on Torontonians.
“I am writing today to reiterate our request for continued assistance from the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario to address the continued impacts COVID-19 is having on our city’s finances, so that we do not have to make deep cuts to services our residents require, impose massive tax increases they cannot afford or implement reductions to our capital budget which will eliminate thousands of jobs and threaten our economic recovery,” Tory wrote.
“The entirety of the amounts requested are as a direct result of the pandemic and the necessary measures taken to deal with the consequences of the pandemic.”
Tory spelled out the shortfalls: An additional $123 million in lost TTC fares on top of a previously noted $483 million, $201 million in extra shelter costs and to care for hundreds of refugees arriving monthly, and $491 million in reduced hotel tax, user fees, parking fees and other revenue streams.
Weekly ridership on the TTC remains at 65-70% of pre-pandemic levels, he noted.
Tory had campaigned on a promise to keep property tax increases below the rate of inflation.
“As we look ahead to 2023, based on continuing COVID-19 financial impacts and other factors, including rising interest rates and cost of fuel, we are wrestling with an opening budget pressure of $1.489 billion prior to any property tax increase or intergovernmental funding commitments,” Tory said.
The mayor thanked both the provincial and federal levels of government for their financial support during the pandemic but said the related costs continue to mount.
Tory previously expressed disappointment that Freeland’s Fall Economic Statement contained no promise to help address the city’s funding gap.
His letter arrived four days before Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy is set to release the province’s Fall Economic Statement.

Sigh. BAD! (spritz spritz) BAD SPAMINATOR! (spritz spritz spritz)shes batty.
not "directly' pandemic related at all
Also not "Directly" pandemic related.
that would be a direct result of Trudeau's travel policies and the complete disaster which was the arrivecan app and the airport disasters. Not directly pandemic related at all.
Yeah. And next time pipe up when trudeau's policies on things like travel are destroying your revenues.

And yet a couple of months ago Vancouver was hinting it would need a bailout to stay solvent.
Musta got word that wasn't gonna happen, so now they're "building confidence."
Had a leadership change a month ago. Most of the leftwards got cut off the public tit.
They elected a new mayor who's on the right side of the spectrum since then.
LOL - never mind
But yes as we both noted once you get rid of the lefties suddenly it's possible to be financially prudent after all
Your right must be different from our right. Our right spends bigger'n the left.
so - you feel that biden has spent LESS than, say, trump or the other republicans before him?
