The US poultry industry is so bad at looking after their animals they have to wash carcasses in chlorine to even _approach_ safe levels of pathogens like salmonella and campylobacter.

I'd assume the effort is similar between bats and snakes being sold in an open air market in a Chinese village and chicken, pigs and cows being sold in an open air market in a Chinese village.
