It's time for China to stop eating exotic animals


Toronto got hit by SARS in 2003 and I am afraid the coronavirus is next.

What about cows? Remember the mad cow scare?

not very infectious when compared to SARS or corona.

178 people died from mad cow in the UK

They banned the consumption of wild animals in China over a month ago because of this

It's time for everyone to stop eating any animals.

"Exotic" is a subjective label humans assign to certain animals. There're no objectively exotic animals. A cat may exotic to UK, but to China it's how brits view a cow.

If someone tries to argue which animals are OK to eat, and which are not, they've already lost - because there are no animals "meant" or "created" to be eaten by humans; the animals that certain cultures consider food is dependent on hardwiring, tradition, upbringing, and culture. There's no objective merit to it.

A cow is a pig is a cat is a dog is a bat is a fish.

Sorry old chap, but I'm a carnivore with canine teeth.

Mad cow disease came from the UK. Maybe nature is pushing us to stop eating animals altogether.

Only way to stop China's barbaric practices is to stop buying anything with their name stamped on it. They'll send in the army to flush them markets real quick.

Tell that to Walmart shoppers and the CEOs. They love China. And while I'm no fan of Walmart, it's certainly not exclusive to their business practices. The US loves buying all the cheap crap that China can punch out.
