Stop the Wildlife Trade: ‘As we’ve globalised and invaded natural habitats – that’s what’s created the increased risk, not the animals themselves’

We all carry viruses all the time, and normally animals are not made sick by viruses they carry, he said.

Stop EATING the fukcers would be even better.

bats unknowing killed humans but humans knowingly killed millions of humans should be the ones that should be exterminated.

Chinese have done this before. In 1958 Mao ordered all the sparrows to be killed because they ate too much grain It caused one of the worst environmental disasters in history. The next year crops were infested severely by insects that were food to sparrows letsnotrepeatstupidity

Maybe our politicians and diplomats encouraging China to stop selling our winged mammalian friends as dinner would be a start.

Its not bats problem since Chinese bat market was opened again in Wuhan.Humans that should be blamed not bats

Stopping the illegal animal trade would do wonders instead.

Leave them alone, Gates is what needs extermination

Aids came from monkies , the coronas came from pigs, birds and bats ...and yall believe that shit too ..🙄🙄🙆

If I had bats living near my home I would seek pest control. Same as rats, snakes, pigeons,...

Oh, no! We need bats. They eat insects and are pollinators. This is our own fault. We need better boundaries and more humane treatment of animals.

If people stopped eating everthing that walks, crawls, swims, flies or slithers then we probably wouldn't be in this mess.

Ahhh the Chinese method, when they exterminated the Sparrows to save the crops, to have the crops fail because the insects the Sparrows were eating exploded in population and ate the crops anyway, after their predators were killed off. Truly a Galaxy brain move I'm sure.

Maybe we learn our lesson and leave the bats alone. Humans spread and are continuing to spread it.

Humans who want to exterminate Bats are mads without logic, Humans must NOT blame animals for the humans errors and malevolence.

Those bats didn't make SarsCov2 in a lab.

Im not sure Im buying the bat story anymore !!!

It’s the same story as the Ebola. Environmental destruction brings strains of microorganisms that existed in balance within the wild environment. So....what is the solution? Again?

Don’t blame the bats if they were happily minding their own business in some faraway cave and humans captured them for use in badly thought out experiments/research.

For the last time the virus was created in a Lab, it is not a theory, it is a fact , stop talking rubbish.

Until China found this virus in bats, the poor bats were not able to spread it to humans though they have been living on earth for thousands of years 🤔

Humans spread the virus also shall we exterminate them while we are at it? Ridiculous thinking to go after bats

If it's bats which caused the virus to spread then why it only affected Wuhan but not whole China while affecting whole world 😏

No need to exterminate the bats! Just don’t fucking eat them!!!!

English councils set for £1bn bailout as costs of Covid-19 hit them hardSome authorities on brink of insolvency due to cashflow problems caused by lockdown Not really much in the grand scheme of things, considering thanks to cuts to council's funding by Westminster they were strapped for cash and going into reserve way before the virus. Not really much in the grand scheme of things, considering thanks to cuts to council's funding by Westminster they were strapped for cash and going into reserves way before the virus. Quite ironic now they want immigrants back to help them with work? Brexit?
