MKRU reports on the unsanitary conditions of a wet market in Lagos, Nigeria, where both dead and live wild animals can be found. Market workers do not disinfect – let alone clean – surfaces or tools, and do not wear personal protective equipment and gloves. Furthermore, these wild/stray animals sold for consumption or to be part of the black market are more often than not abused, or killed in inhumane ways. The article is in Russian.
