The videos, filmed in April, reveal wet markets in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines are continuing to sell live and dead animals amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
PETA has captured grim footage from inside numerous wet markets still operating across Asia—amid a warning that the next deadly pandemic could begin before the current COVID-19 outbreak is over if they are not shut down.

Live, dead and cooked animals were filmed being sold near each other in Zhejiang province. Wildlife markets were also open in the tourist island of Bali, where a PETA Asia investigator captured a rabbit convulsing and dying inside a cage at the Pasar Hewan Satria market in Denpasar.

In Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, the cooked heads and body parts of dogs were filmed piled up on a counter near living animals. And at markets in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, animals including frogs and chickens were captured being butchered.
