More details
The coronavirus and SARS outbreak have two things in common:both most likely started in wet markets. Those wet markets put people, lives and dead animals such as dogs, chickens, pigs, snakes, civets, and more, in constant close contact. That makes it easy for zoonotic diseases to jump from animals to humans. By improving animal welfare can improve bio-scrutiny & prevent further fatal viruses affecting citizens.Recent meat & dairy centered viruses include Corvid-19,EColi,BSE,Swine Flue,SAR-CoV
