There is much speculation on the increase of disease that are spreading around the globe at an alarming rate, such as with the current covid-19 pandemic we are facing today. Many scientists, world leaders, health advocates and individuals agree that the natural barriers between humans and animals are not being respected and as such, we have allowed these diseases, many of which could have been avoided, to spread at an alarming rate, killing hundreds of thousands.
The most disturbing thing about this truth is the fact that once we’ve managed to overcome one disease, we then fall back into old habits by continuing with the same practices that caused or contributed to the disease outbreak in the first place, for example live animal markets, deforestation and the destruction of earth’s natural resources, many of which cannot be salvaged afterwards.
All of the above, in turn leads to cruelty to animals dwindling resources, habitat loss and a rise in the spread of preventable diseases.
