I do wonder if there’s ever a point when carnists start thinking that maybe their animal treats aren’t worth having a new deadly disease every few years
Most of the deadliest illnesses through history are from human contact with animals. The flu and chlamydia come from birds, anthrax from cows, smallpox from camels, mumps from either bats or pigs, etc.
People were predicting zoonotic pandemics for years, and we were screaming about it in mid 2020. I never thought we’d be so right so fast, but here we are.
I don’t want to pretend that none of this will affect me, but it’s probably a lot less stressful than for the carnists.
