It has now found a new critic in the form of former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar who has vehemently criticised the culinary habits of the Chinese citizens.
Akhtar, who is quite vocal on his Youtube channel about everything going around, has lashed out at the Chinese people for eating “bats, dogs and cats.”
“I don’t understand why you have to eat things like bats, drink their blood and urine and spread some virus across the globe. I’m talking about the Chinese people. They have put the world at stake. I really don’t understand how you can eat bats, dogs, and cats. I’m really angry,” Akhtar was seen speaking on his channel.
“I’m not against the people of China but I’m against the law of animals. I understand this may be your culture but this is not benefitting you now, it is killing humanity. I’m not saying you boycott the Chinese but there has to be some law. You cannot go on and eat anything and everything,” the World’s fastest bowler added.
The coronavirus has so far spread to more than 100 countries, infecting over 1,30,000 people. In Pakistan the number of positive cases reached 28 on Saturday.
