Extended data:
Data show that China has stopped hunting pangolins in the wild since 2008. According to the demand of pangolin for drugs, the inventory verification system of pangolin A raw materials was established, and the scope of raw materials was defined, which was limited to the clinical use and production of Chinese patent medicines with the approval number of the State Food and Drug Administration in designated hospitals.
This move also means that the medicinal pangolins in major Chinese medicine hospitals have a single source and cannot be purchased from other channels. There are not a few wild animals that have similar situations with pangolins. According to the results of 1985- 1989 national survey of Chinese traditional medicine resources, there are 1574 species of medicinal animals in China, many of which come from endangered animals or rare animals, such as rhinoceros horn, tiger bone, musk, bear gall and antelope horn.
Take Musk as an example. This precious Chinese herbal medicine is recorded in many ancient medical books in China. In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen said that musk "opens the eyes to dredge collaterals, penetrates bones and muscles, and relieves alcoholism". In the national traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, the prescriptions containing musk account for more than 10%. However, due to the continuous destruction of habitats and rampant poaching, wild musk deer are on the verge of extinction, and all musk deer species are listed as national first-class protected animals.
People's Network-Eating pangolin tonic is not credible. Experts suggest that pangolin scales can be used as a substitute for drugs.
