The disgusting Chinese wildlife markets where these pandemics arise

[Calculating]

IMO the world needs to come together and DEMAND that china ban ALL wildlife wet markets and harshly enforce the law. We can't keep having potentially world ending pandemics because people over there think "insert exotic animal here" is some kind of delicacy.

1. While I agree re the fate of these markets, let's be honest about where "these pandemics" arise.

The 2009 "Swine flu" and 1918 "Spanish flu" both originated in North American pig farms. Maybe the world cannot abide the threat of world-ending flu pandemics because Americans think "insert cut of pork here" is some kind of delicacy. Perhaps the world will demand Americans ban the raising of pigs and harshly enforce the law. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

2. I would agree to banning factory farms as well

If the world needs to eat less meat as a result, it's probably for the best anyway.

3. Were outlawed a month ago.

China just banned the trade and consumption of wild animals. Experts think the coronavirus jumped from live animals to people at a market.

4. Good

Hopefully it stays banned

5. Their Politburo already announced a permanent ban and the crackdown would be severe

They probably will charge offenders with economic treason or some such

6. A show trial would be in order I'm the thinking,

with plain old treason.

7. There's no trial in China. People just disappear.
