Wuhan bans eating of wild animals!

jjanssen

Well, one can only say that it’s about time, too!

Not just for the apparent disease vectors which gave us COVID-19, but also the awful way the animals are bred, trapped, and killed for the “wet markets”.

I have seen and read too much about it and warn anyone else once you see or read some things you cannot unsee them so do be careful what you look at.

This is barbaric and should of been pressured more to be stopped yrs ago

Many societies have banned lots of things over the years,
Sometimes it is easier to do things that are banned as some people think that it will not happen anymore.

Horrifying what they do

Banning them and stopping them are two completely different things.

100% - they're trying to stop something that's been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years. It's ingrained in their culture... No amount of policing or fines will stop it, if anything it'll go underground and conditions will get even worse.

kenralph totally agree, let's see and the same as bush meat in Africa

unfortunately I make you right there I seen before that certain practices that were supposedly banned were still happening without any fear of prosecution at all. Let's hope they crack down on it this time. Fingers crossed .

andishdi that’s got to be the major concern. Sometimes it’s better to regulate and control than ban.

andishdi I'm sure the Chinese authorities are aware of the possible consequences. Yes some people may have been eating pangolins and bats for centuries, but that doesn't mean things can't change, particularly if they become associated with disease.
Just think about how our own eating habits have changed. Very few English people eat rook pie these days. Even the French, who fifty years ago were blasting every songbird out of the sky for dinner, no longer eat ortolans.

Wouldn't it be interesting to know how many of those people who cry out about the poor animals in China actually give a single care about all the local animals trapped and tortured in factory farming right here in the UK? 🤔

Me for one im always making a comment about the UK and eu about this and our terrible slaughter houses.
However this cross viruses between wild and " ordinary" animals is dangerous at these wet markets it seems.
What they do to these animals is nasty
But we are not off the hook either.

I actually enjoy a bit of rabbit pie and jugged hare, pigeon breast and pheasant myself...
I think when meat is sanitised we 'forget' where it came from.
China, Africa, and Canada, America, Australia, Vietnam, and don't forget the UK are all capable of being the next 'demon'.
