Causes of COVID-19

This pandemic makes us review our relation to the natural world, especially

to animals and the way we treat them. The virus spread out from the fish and

sea food markets in wuhan where wild animals like pangolins, bats, foxes, and

even tigers and their parts and blood were traded for medicine, and aphrodisiacs,

and meat without any hygienic precautions. Infected bats bit the pangolins

that were used for their meat, their blood and scales for medicine. Most

of the pangolins were exported so that the virus spread even more quickly

all around the world. Now our role is clear. We must treat animals as we

would like to be treated ourselves if we want to avoid worldwide catastrophes.
