9. There is a lot of discussion in the media right now about the cruelty in factory farming, the devastation and abuse of these animals, getting mother cows pregnant to then steal and give her milk to the industry while her babies are used for veal or put back into the milk industry; but MOST importantly in the media right now is the link to viruses such as SARS, COVID, H1N1 being DIRECTLY linked to wet markets in China and the consumption of LIVE domesticated and exotic animals who are crammed in tiny, filthy, and painful cages for food. Many doctors warned after SARS in 2003 that this would keep coming back stronger. Despite everything, they opened the wet markets in China shortly after they were shut down. As of yesterday, they found a new strain of the virus on the cutting boards in the market. So maybe, here we go again. When will people learn? What are your thoughts? /2 marks
