>>Beijing, stung by worldwide criticism after it tried to cover up the initial
SARS outbreak, has ordered that all wild animals destined for dinner tables
must be reared on farms, where they can be monitored for signs of disease.

But many animals in the Baiyun market were missing limbs, clear indicators
that they were trapped in the wild. Left to bleed and confined in cages so
small and crowded that they could not move, many were badly infected and
barely alive.<<

As noted above and below, there are many civets available for testing, including those captured in the wild.
