    All of the animal industries the report examines are far less regulated than they should be and far less than the public believes they currently are. Today, wide regulatory gaps exist through which pathogens can spillover and spread, leaving the public constantly vulnerable to zoonotic disease.

    Is just one study. Many say the animal industry is the breeding ground for the next pandemic. Not only in the US but everywhere. The question is not “if” but “when”

      I don’t believe in karma, or anything like that, but it is kinda apropos how we as a species got fucked over because of our ghoulish treatment of other species. Animal agriculture is a scourge.

      Yeah, scientists have been warning about that for a long time. You can find these on google if you want. They’ve always been ignored with the usual “but there is money to be made” argument. And when the infected excrement really hits the rotary air displacement device it’ll be “why did nobody stop us” and “how could we have known”.

      Soon, no more meat because diseases. Forced veganism for everybody.
