there's a huge market for adrenochrome. WHO code B02BX02 for the carboxylated version, used in regulating blood.

for the torturing of animals alive before eating them, something quite big in China's 'wet' markets generally.

From wikipedia: Adrenochrome is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C9H9NO3 produced by the oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine). The derivative carbazochrome is a hemostatic medication.

torturing animals produces adrenaline (epinephrine, same roots, different language, 'on top of kidney hormone') https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4598702/

QED

the idea of people abusing adrenochrome for the sake of it is something I made no comment on, merely the availablity of it in meat.
