Coronavirus: result of unregulated live animal market. See if Trump

[applegrove]

likes what coronavirus does to the economy in an election year. Regulations are good. For more than just saving lives. Markets it seems are dependant on people.

1. Those market are horrible.

2. Oh no doubt. Saw one in Paris. Walked as far away from it as i could.

I was not worried about disease so much as animal rights.

3. I hope this episode puts an end to these barbaric markets.

I remember walking by a wall of small cages along the side of a meat market in L.A.'s Chinatown about 20 years ago. The cages were stuffed with a wide variety of live (though horribly suffering) animals such as ducks, doves, turtles, snakes, rabbits, etc. People would pick out an animal and the market would slaughter it for them, assuring that they were getting fresh meat.

To this day that vision makes me sick to my stomach.

I don't see that anymore in Chinatown, thank goodness.

4. I really don't understand how someone could look at a living creature and say

“Kill that one so I can have a tasty meal.”

I’m a vegetarian but the smell of cooked meat still makes my mouth water. I can’t deny that meat makes things taste really good. I just don’t think five or ten minutes of enjoying my dinner a little bit more than I would enjoy Quorn or tofu is worth the murder of a smaller and more helpless but still sentient being.

5. I'm a meat eater and I could never hand a live animal to a butcher to dice up for my meal.

The meat from these little critters is not that tasty. At best, it tastes like chicken, from what they tell me. It's more so you can say you ate a snake, a dove, etc.

In the meatime, these stressed critters sit in wire cages stacked one one on top of each other. They're pooping, peeing and puking on each other through the wires of the cages. It is the most unsanitary thing imaginable.

Fecal matter and other germs cover these animals. When they slaughter them, the blade cutting through the animal's skin introduces those pathogens into the flesh of the animal, that you then eat.

6. Coronavirus is the "invisible hand"

that will regulate the market. Or, a little to late to save the market or the world. Lets hear it for Unfettered Capitalism.

7. The infodemic is pretty bad.

The epidemiology says the significance of the market as a cause is even less significant. The WHO says it's more a infodemic than a pandemic.

I would say just stop but there is too much political hay to make vs. truth. So there is that. I get it I guess.
