Stop The Wildlife Trade: Restricting the trade of wildlife will help prevent the next pandemic and also safeguard the natural world

, a powerful condemnation of the abuse and exploitation of the inhabitants of the Congo. If there were an equivalent darkness today, it would be man’s treatment of wild animals, and theFor over ten years, I have been engaged in conservation in Africa. Enormous demand for ivory, rare meat and scales has decimated populations of elephants, rhinos and pangolins.

Y'all trust Chinese? That's funny

No it wont. As long as there is money to be had.

.....they will be back at it again in some time till the next..... covid19+ sars mers swineflu

Why would anyone kill this poor little thing?

Hope

Preach to the Chinese.

China does not hear this, so the only way is to cut economic and commercial, cultural, scientific and tourist relations with China. ....OK!!!

Rubbish. To really change things we would have to ban these markets and slew of other things that all revolve around the way we choose to live on this planet. There are uncountable pathogens on this planet that can mutate and infect humans, that is the reality.

Won’t do much, most is black market anyway

Righteous on at least two levels.

It should have been done already. We’re not in the Stone Age. China is the biggest threat to all of humankind right now. Economically, environmentally and militarily. The Chinese government should be on trial in The Hague. Disgusting

If we haven't managed to blow ourselves up

Don’t Eat Wild Animals !!

Banning Chinas ability to store harvest and cultivate viruses would be a good start too

Boycott Chinese government n Chinese people

BREAKING :- World‘s 1st coronavirus vaccine has been approved in...COVID2019

We all hope

just ban it now

This problem will never go away while animals like that one continue to look so delicious.

Stop lying, it will not protect us from politicians, consortium and genocidal wankers who's amusement is to destroy all life

How 'independent' is this propaganda campaign against wet markets? Let's first determine, with definitive proof, the origin of the virus.

Nor should they. Not everyone buys their food in Plastic foil, ready to pop in the microwave. Bat needs to be slow cooked anyway.

Wet markets don't care about our rules.

MeanwhileinCana Naive to think so. Pathogens can come from many places not related to animal markets.

Idiots. Even if these markets were the only source of viruses, look at what banning the drug market did to drug use.

MeanwhileinCana Can I agree more than 100%? Can only be done by the origins of such infection to agree. Bats-China: A confirmed souce of zootropic (wildlife-to-man) diseases, including SARS. China aware of this. They have banned access to the bat locations, but not enough. DeadlyWildlifeFoodBan

Ban, like it will ever be enforced, but even if.. all it takes is one man and one bat and here we are. Because it will happen again we need immediate transparency, WHO health inspectors on site. Air travel restricted and hugely tighter border control with mandatory quarantine.

ElizabethMay People need to stop eating meat. It’s animal ag that increasing disease spillover

and stop the horrible use of animal products for medicinal uses as they use the scales of these sweet animals near extinction 😡

Just another reason to end all animal exploitation industries.

Maybe it will help protect a few species too

pandemics/epidemics will always continue to happen, but wet markets are a place of horrific and inhumane treatment of animals and, similar to inhumane industrial animal farms, they should all be shut down

ElizabethMay Ya think!

ElizabethMay Disappointed to see ElizabethMay retweet something that’s so clearly racist. H1N1 pandemic started in pig stockyards in the United States. Listeria outbreaks kill folks every year and it’s found in lettuce and spinach.

MeanwhileinCana This is dumb

Look, I don't much like the Davos crowd or WHO. However, referring to them as a wildlife market probably won't make people listen. You may be onto something though

I was asked a question today that I mentioned on the last post. What if our attempts to reduce carbon pollution have made our environment a haven for viruses like the Corona Viruses. What if the pollution from the industrial revolution was keeping us safe from epidemics.

acoyne What country in south East Asian are you suggesting to start in.The gangsters of each country run this,there’s big $ in wild life trade.I’ve seen the wet markets in Vietnam and know a wee bit of those markets.The government of each country allows & share in those profits.

acoyne Only banning the CCP will protect us, not fecking wet markets. Wake up naivè West. We are at war.

Yes yes yes. ! China China China ...... you listening!

acoyne Uh huh. So we’re still telling the children WuhanVirus was caused by bat soup. Ok kiddies. COVIDIOTS

Only on papers, there are shitty ppl out there who crave for wild getting rid of them will leave viruses in peace

acoyne China 🇨🇳 lies - period

Innocent animals

China isn't really banning them. they always say this like they did after H1N1 and SARS but then allow them to continue to operate when everyone looks away. MakeChinaPay FreeHongKong YangFightsCCP NakumooFightsCCP lsm2035608886 graysonyang taylor_nakumoo

if they ban wet markets, what pretext would they have when they release COVID-20?

Dout it very much.
