One of the largest flower producers in Indonesia is Tomomoto City. Some Tomohon residents rely on income from planting flowers.
Every August, Tomohon holds the annual Flower Festival, the Tomohon International Flower Festival. At this event, the cool Tomomoto city will be covered with colorful and beautiful flowers.
Apart from the beauty of flowers, Tomohon has a unique aspect not found in many cities in Indonesia. Here is a traditional market called Tomohon Extreme Market. You can find many wild animals for sale.
Like Wuhan, this market sells wildlife. Wild animals such as bats, snakes and mice can be found here.
For years, animal lovers and wildlife activists have urged authorities to close a market known as the Tomohon Extreme Market. Now with the coronavirus pandemic, it gives them another reason to put pressure on the authorities to take action in the end.
The earliest coronavirus case cluster in the global outbreak was associated with the Wuhan market in China. Animals are sold in a living environment, market locations are close to crowds, creating opportunities for viruses to fly to humans. The SARS virus, which killed 800 people worldwide, is thought to have originated from bats, then spread to civets in the Chinese wildlife market, and eventually infected people in 2002.

The difference between Wuhan Market and Tomohon is that most of Tomohon’s wildlife are slaughtered before they arrive at the market. Except for dogs that remain in the kennel and are usually killed on the spot for customers who prefer fresh meat.
Locals believe that some animals, such as bats, which are said to cure asthma, have medicinal properties. In North Sulawesi, there is a lot of interest in wild animal meat and it is very common to consume it. So it’s no wonder that snake and bat meat is often sold. supermarket..
On Tuesday, May 12, 2020, a coalition of animal rights groups called “Dogmeat Free Indonesia” urged President Joko Widodo to close the wildlife market to prevent the emergence of new pathogens.
The corona pandemic will tell you if the market, which has been operating for years and has become a local culture, will disappear under pressure and fear of the new coronavirus epidemic. On the contrary, the local wisdom put into daily life is still preserved.
We pray for COVID-19 to end soon, especially in Ramadan this month so that we can return to normal activity. .. Win desires and beat Corona.When the time comes , Don’t forget, always order , , ,and Pegi Pegi, yes!
