An argument is mounting among conservationists about the use of 'wet markets' One such wet market in Wuhan, China, is believed to be the origin of Covid-19 Live and dead creatures are sold for eating and stored in cramped conditions Over 200 wildlife groups signed an open letter to the World Health Organisation The WHO is now being urged to shut the markets to stop future pandemics
Global health bosses should urge countries to shut down wild animal markets such as the one in China where coronavirus is believed to have started, say conservationists.
More than 200 wildlife groups worldwide issued their call in an open letter to the World Health Organisation, saying it would stop future pandemics.
The evidence suggests Covid-19 has animal origins, most likely from bats, and may have come from a ‘wet market’ – where live and dead creatures are sold for eating – in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
Other pandemics, including Sars and Ebola, have also been linked to viruses spreading from animals to people.
Dr Mark Jones, head of policy at Born Free, one of the charities involved, said: ‘Once Covid-19 is behind us, returning to business as usual cannot be an option.
‘We need to dig deep and reset our fundamental relationship with the natural world, rethink our place in it and treat our planet and all its inhabitants with a great deal more respect, for its sake and for ours.’
The letter also wants the WHO to raise the alarm about the risks posed to human health by the wildlife trade.
The charities back initiatives to find alternative sources of protein for people who survive by eating wild animals.
Dr Jones said markets selling live wild animals were found in many countries and had rapidly expanded.

Wasn’t there a similar problem with “bush meat” from Africa?
A PETA rep was on Tucker tonight going on about the Chinese wet markets. You have a hankering for bat meat and pangolin meat? You go to your local wet market in China. Pangolin is a scaly ant eater. Their meat is the Chinese version of Viagra.
In the old spy books and movies “wet work” meant blood was going to flow. People would be killed.
And while they’re at it, maybe they should stop using pig toilets.

Maybe introduce them to pulled pork.
China could be big market for Texas Barbeque.
Even Texas Pizza Bread.

Bats, cats and dogs. It’s what’s for dinner!

What’s fake? I know for a fact that bat is eaten in China. Do like dog meat? You can get that too.

(Bats, Cats, Dogs on the label label label. You will like it like it like it on your table table table.)
Never mind that the virus may have come from a lab instead.
It is entirely fake that the escaped Communist Chinese Bioweapon originated in the wet market rather than the biological weapons research facility less than a mile away.
And at no time would I ever carry water for the communist government by promoting their prevarication.

Fishpond toilet
In China, “Family dwellings are commonly built close to the fish pond with toilets overhanging the pond to facilitate fertilization. ... Some pigsties as well as latrines for humans are built on the adjacent dike so as to overhang the pond.” But by 1988, these fish pond toilets were falling out of favour, as the farmers found it more useful to ferment human and pig excrement together, and apply it to the aquaculture ponds as needed.[10]
In Vietnam, the traditional fish pond toilet, which was described as “widespread” as recently as 2008, polluted the waterways, but was perceived as more hygienic (less smelly) than various modern alternatives that the government was pressing on the villagers.[11]
I just saw a you tube showing China lab reports since 2015 had covid 19. HIV rna had been added. The documents were from the lab to their military.
Great! A new way to feed my catfish-NOT
