This is caused by the bacteria yersinia pestis, not a virus, and is transferred via fleas, not ingestion.
You still do not get it, do you? We can not go on hunting and eating all kind of exotic and wild animals. Does it matter if it is a bacteria or a virus? The risk still lies there, like I said, next time it might be another SARS, maybe something worse. And China does do a lot of this, also treating animals in a way that exposes other animals and humans to greater risk of infection.
And btw, Bubonic plague is
mainly spread by infected fleas, and ingesting CAN infect via body fluids from the dead animal, it is just rare.
Here is an article from UN, if you still do not understand the danger in the way people hunt and treat willd and exotic animals:

There are a number of viruses and bacterial diseases than transfers this way, most in wild and exotic animals. Certain animals are known for hosting many viruses.
If we do not change the way we interact with them, we will have more pandemics and epidemics than we ever had before due to the interconnected way of life we now have.
You can quarrel details all you like, my point still stands.
