The Corona virus epidemic will, hopefully, have one positive outcome in that more people will probably avoid eating bushmeat, which has proved to be the source of many deadly viruses (including the Ebola and Corona viruses).
Thousands of years ago, the Israelites implemented laws forbidding people to eat animals that made up the bushmeat market (wild animals that ate carrion and other animals). Seems mankind just cannot learn from history!
Many animals on the bushmeat menu are endangered, which is a further incentive to fight this scourge.
The source of the Corona virus has been linked to a meat and fish market that sold wild animal products. I appeal to everyone to avoid eating bushmeat and products derived from it; for health and ecological reasons.
