    As if SARS wasn't enough...
    https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30185-9/fulltext



    The clear warnings about viruses being bred at wildlife markets led to the exact same situation -

    https://www.rainforest-rescue.org/petitions/1211/shut-down-wildlife-markets-now?t=361#more

    The shutdowns are only temporary during pandemics, they soon re-open once the dying slows down.

    The culture of wet markets, abusing animal for completely unproven medical theories like bear bile treating covid (which it does not), is a breeding ground of viruses and inhumane cruelty that has no purpose or place in the 21st century.

    Now hundreds of thousands will die, many more will suffer, and a long term global recession is in place because we refused to look at the science in front of us. We refused to learn from history.

    In addition to signing the petition, ask yourself... is paying 10% extra on products not from China worth being alive? This is the fundamental change that should come from this, accountability, more domestic manufacturing and an ability to confront issues as people instead of extreme political parties*.

    *No government responded in a timely manner, all were too concerned about the economy and played off the science, so don't waste time debating about the left and right.

    I’m signing this ****. It’s almsot karma for the unimaginable animal suffering in these places, boiling them alive, skinning them before killing them etc. Mother Nature had enough

    Bear farming is horrible and completely legal in the PRC.

    Wild animal trafficking and wet markets are not just for eating, but Chinese "medicine". It is a lucrative market with no scientific results that is based on animal abuse - from bear farms to smuggling to live burning and scaling of animals. No journalists or camera's are allowed near any of the production facilities. This is a culture of abuse the Chinese pay a lot of money to support.

    Pathetic. Some people are still extremely primitive in the year 2020.

    Hey, @Senator, if you have something to say (and I agree with you on a few points about the environment vs civilization, etc) it would do you a whole lot of good to just say it in one thread, make your point, and have an honest argument then and there with anyone and everyone. A whole lot of the "honest argument" is up to you, though.

    There's no need to spam the bbs with a dozen threads saying basically the same thing. Just a thought.
