Wal-Mart is a major store to buy food at over $1 trillion. Donkey meat is a very popular snack in China. There were 2.4 million donkeys slaughtered for food in China during 2011. Wal-Mart was supposed to grow to $1.5 trillion in 2016. The same Wal-Mart in China had a similar incident in 2011 when they were fined for selling duck meat past its expiration date.
