The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has had a profound impact on everyone's lives, and people can't go to class or even go out. Many people can't help but think of a similar atypical pneumonia outbreak 17 years ago, similar to this one, in which the culprits of the virus are locked in wild animals.
As the intermediate host of sars virus, the name civet cat should be familiar to everyone, although the civet itself does not carry the SARS virus, but it is an omnivore, and the range of activities is wide, may be in contact with many other wild animals, thus contaminated with some viruses, especially may encounter bats, this "walking pathogen".
In addition, wild civets themselves have some rabies viruses, as well as parasites such as trichinella and silanes. If accidentally infected, trichinella can cause serious damage to the gastrointestinal tract of the human body when it reproduces, and can also cause allergic reactions.
The Beaver fluke is a common parasite in China, which is generally infected due to unhygienic diet. Once this parasite invades the human body, it will circulate around in the body, causing great damage to people's lungs and central nervous system, and causing serious systemic lesions.
Seventeen years ago, the SARS virus first originated in Guangdong, and some Cantonese people ate infected wild civets, resulting in a SARS outbreak. On February 11 this year, Guangdong Province passed a resolution explicitly prohibiting the indiscriminate eating and trade of wild animals.
Studies have shown that 78% of the new infectious diseases in humans today are related to wild animals, or originate from wild animals, so wild animals should not be touched without contact, let alone eaten.
The farmed livestock and poultry we eat now have a mature breeding process and a perfect quarantine system guarantee, which can be eaten with confidence, which is both delicious and safe.
Most of the "wild game" has various defects, has not been formally treated, and is an illegally hunted animal, carrying many deadly viruses. Indiscriminate consumption of wild animals is a bad habit, but also an important cause of illegal hunting of wild animals, which is a great potential danger to human health and life safety.
Man depends on nature, and it is impossible to conquer nature, let go of wild animals, and leave a way for human beings to live.
