Dr. Fox and Friends...

We should not forget that the virus responsible for this global calamity came from animals as a result of human depredation.

We may have learned something about karma and the laws of costs and consequences from this COVID-19 pandemic, from which many people and communities will never fully recover. We should not forget that the virus responsible for this global calamity came from animals as a result of human depredation.

International trade in animals, wild and domesticated, dead and alive, for human consumption should be curtailed as a public health service, for national security and for animal health and welfare. Farmed animal production and trade within nations should be tempered to help reduce this major industry’s contribution to the climate and extinction crises, decline in public health and rural poverty where small, sustainable producers are marginalized and veterinary services primarily directed to larger commercial operations.

Also, all who live or work with animals or come close to them in any way must now practice preventive measures as applied to stemming the COVID-19 pandemic in the human populace since many mammalian species could be infected by humans and become a source of human re-infection.
