That’s not the reasoning. The reasoning is that the “Wet Markets” involve a lot of live mammals being kept in close proximity, creating a breeding ground for really nasty viruses to make the interspecies jump to humans.
Yes, and to circumvent this naturally occuring germ breeding pool, in countries like Germany animals get pumped up with antibiotics, even the reserve ones, so that this doesnt happen here even though its just as bad.
Not keeping them in cramped filthy conditions like those that exist in Chinese meat markets. Particularly small mammals which are genetically similar enough to humans for a virus to jump species. There’s a reason all the nastiest plagues have come from people trying to eat bats and monkeys.
Yes that too makes sense. If people stopped eating animals, damn… the reserve antibiotics we could save for like… actually emergencies

Yeah, eeeeeverything fine here.
Antibiotics are irrelevant to COVID. It’s a virus, not a bacteria.
True, is there anything animals get to stop spreading viruses? Never heard of that

Factory farming suffering animals, especially chicken live under exactly those conditions, just that we dont see them

Bats are not genetically similar to us, but the same as birds they can carry diseases over distance.
Lots of diseases came from “regular western farm animals”
