Los repugnantes y morbosos materiales obtenidos así - pieles, cráneos, dientes, huesos, garras, vejigas, penes y otros órganos extirpados de seres vivos cruelmente descuartizados - son posteriormente empleados para confeccionar una exótica variedad de pociones caras y nocivas que, increíblemente, son todavía buscadas por consumidores ignorantes y supersticiosos como presuntas medicinas tradicionales y alimentos. La Asociación Tailandesa para la Conservación de Animales Salvajes, en cooperación con Care for the Wild International (Protección de lo Salvaje), la Asociación Mundial para la Protección de los Animales y otros grupos internacionales de defensa y conservación animal, está trabajando para proteger a los osos - explotados como exótica comida 'de emperador' en Tailandia, donde la sopa de pata de oso está considerada como un manjar exquisito - y a los tigres que son cazados ilegalmente por su piel y sus huesos, así como otras especies amenazadas. *\[Para informarse sobre la protección de la menguante fauna salvaje de Asia, contactar con: Tim Redford, Director, Thai Society for the Conservation of Wild Animals (Asociación Tailandesa para la Conservación de Animales Salvajes), 32 Prathum Ct 85/3-8 Soi Rajaprarop Makkasan, Bangkok 10400, Tailandia, Fax: +66-2-248-1490.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1427 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Yeshimbra Assa: Ethiopian Chickpea Fish with Berbere Sauce](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/yeshimbra-assa--ethiopian-chickpea-fish-with-berbere-sauce-1775263496_98d6c0f5ac542e1fb97125e0a176d867.jpg "Yeshimbra Assa: Ethiopian Chickpea Fish with Berbere Sauce")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/yeshimbra-assa-ethiopian-chickpea-fish-with-berbere-sauce.html "Yeshimbra Assa: Ethiopian Chickpea Fish with Berbere Sauce") #### [Yeshimbra Assa: Ethiopian Chickpea Fish with Berbere Sauce](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/yeshimbra-assa-ethiopian-chickpea-fish-with-berbere-sauce.html "Yeshimbra Assa: Ethiopian Chickpea Fish with Berbere Sauce") [Main course](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/main-course-for-lunch-and-dinner.html) [Ethiopia](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/ethiopian.html) [African](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/african.html) -
