From what I gather, they are limited to specific regions of China and many from the more metropolitan areas of China find them distasteful if not cruel. So there is hope there.Yes the factory farming industry has oceans of blood and swill on its hands. But at least we have westerners protesting the abhorrent actions of these factories. China has a good history of protest within the ranks of its own country but I have never heard of any Chinese protest of these barbaric wet markets. It seems to just be part of their culture. God I'm so sick of peoples' culture.
Morrissey f***s me off when he posts without comment.
I agree.Morrissey f***s me off when he posts without comment.
@Morrissey You can't condemn a f***ing nation because of some c***s.
WAKE THE f*** UP
The virus was made in a Wuhan lab.It really should be called the "meat-eater virus", really It should, But offend the carnivores?not goin to hapoen. Call the virus anything other than what has made innocent Chinese Americans run to the gun shop, in numbers.
What concerns me is that this will become a distraction from the horrors occurring in slaughterhouses across Europe and in the USA. We could do more about this, pretty much overnight.
Morrissey has posted a video on his shit website and said nothing.
He can speak out when it comes to The Guardian, so why the f*** doesn't he say exactly what he means when it comes to his recent post?
Gutless as f***!
The wet markets are pretty horrible, yeah
But they've been going on for years
Not a scientist, but i can"t see how wet markets can be blamed for this
Coronaviruses change every year - my work gives me the flu jab for free, which is never the same one year after year
People look for someone / something to blame (carnivores or sinister scientists in Wuhan labs...creating deadly viruses to kill their own people while munching on a bat pie) but i kinda think these things do just happen from time to time
Influenza is not a type of coronavirus. They are two different types of virus entirely. Coronaviruses by definition are diseases that come from mammals and birds. Trouble occurs when the disease jumps to humans as they cause respiratory-type illnesses which can be fatal. People are rightly pointing the finger at the wet markets because:The wet markets are pretty horrible, yeah

Thank you, very informative!Influenza is not a type of coronavirus. They are two different types of virus entirely. Coronaviruses by definition are diseases that come from mammals and birds. Trouble occurs when the disease jumps to humans as they cause respiratory-type illnesses which can be fatal. People are rightly pointing the finger at the wet markets because:
a) they sell disease-carrying wild animals like bats and pangolins for food and traditional medicine
b) the conditions are filthy, with animals frequently being skinned alive on dirty floors
c) the SARS outbreak (another coronavirus) originated from China in similar circumstances in 2002-3 and it seems the Chinese have learned nothing.
I’ve not heard the Tories or Labour mention the animal welfare issues which underpin this. And I was fairly surprised to hear the shadow chancellor calling for a Brexit delay on Thursday, first because it’s obviously going to happen anyway and secondly because they are simply picking the ball up from December; if anything, it will play less well now.I don't think it will in the UK. Whenever an animal rights group gets footage, there's good coverage. We've had the horse meat scandal & farms that have been quarantined because of flu outbreaks. They'll probably watch it more closely because now we know the whole country can lockdown because of the meat industry.
I'm hoping factory farming will get tighter regulations from this.

Are they more scared of China or our own meat industries?
Thank you, very informative!
