From the Shats epidemic to the 2019 coronary virus disease epidemic, the virus is obviously infected with humans from wild animals.Some and more scientific research believes that the coronary virus is likely to be the same as the Shats virus, from the Chinese chrysanthemum might; some studies believe that the middle host may be pangolin.This shows that the habit of eating game should indeed change.China decided to comprehensively ban illegal wildlife transactions on the 24th of this month. It is undoubtedly timely in a timely manner, but this is not the first time in China to do this.Work hard.
Fifty Yingling, a Chinese wild animal and plant expert, the dangers and regulators of the illegal trade network published by wild animals published in November last year, pointing out that global wildlife and product smuggling annually reached 50 billion US dollars.The big smuggling industry; and China is one of the largest countries in illegal wildlife transactions.Such illegal transactions directly cause endangered and extinction of wild animals, and indirectly cause animal epidemic infection with humans.Another problem is the medicine or nourishing role of wild animals, such as rhino horns, antelope horns, tiger whip, mountain armor scales, bear paw, bear bile, etc. Once wild animals have economic value, they are naturally hunt and illegal transactions.
Eating odors has been proven to be a way for human infection, including Shas Virus, Libai Virus, Middle East respiratory syndrome virus, and Ipora virus, which are derived from bats, which are transmitted to humans through odors or livestock as intermediate hosts.Writing trading venues are also hotbeds of epidemic dissemination. The handling of insufficient training, lack of hygiene conditions, do not comply with regulations, corruption issues, etc., make the virus have a gap in spreading.Researchers believe that Shas virus is transmitted to humans by bats by bats; and Guangdong has always had the habit of eating civet.Although the coronary virus has not confirmed the infection pathway, it is very likely to be transmitted in the same way.
Virus, as a kind of creature, also seek opportunities for reproduction.We currently face environmental problems such as climate change and excessive forest development, which will accelerate the spread of virus and epidemic, because the reduction of habitats overlap the survival space between wild animals and humans, increasing the probability of virus exposure to humans.For example, a large number of cutting forests to build livestock farms have increased the probability of contact between bats and livestock, causing the Libi virus to be transmitted to humans from bats.Global warming accelerated glaciers and icefields will also release frozen ancient diseases, increasing the possibility of rare diseases.As the number of animals in nature decreases, in order to continue to reproduce, the virus will also mutate to find more intermediate or ultimate hosts, such as humans.
With the advancement of science and technology, humans have become more and more bold.In Chinese tradition, some people have the idea of winning the sky. Western scientific development also seek to conquer nature, transform nature, and even redesign nature, including transforming genes and transforming viruses.The development of human beings so far does not have sustainability, so that the natural environment is still undergoing our destruction.The spread faced by humans today can be said to be a counterattack of nature to humans.Therefore, we must also conduct more values to review, emphasize the awe of nature, the relative harmony between people and nature, respecting the laws of nature, and restraining the invasion of the environment.
Chinese culture has a long history. In addition to inheritance, people must also examine and criticize the dross, such as eating odors.Traditional Chinese medicine classics do record the dietary effects of some wild animals, but there are also existence or even no scientific view; and with the wealth of society, some people will inevitably show their status through eating odor.Writes and are extremely cruel.Hunting in ancient times was one of the source of human food, but after thousands of years, from farming and animal husbandry civilization, and then developing to modern industrial civilization, some people's bodies lived in the moment, but their heads stayed in the ancient times.Except for planes that can be eaten in the sky, all four legs on the ground can be eaten except for tables. It can be eaten except for ships in the water, which shows the irrationality of eating.
To truly change the bad habits of eating game, it is not enough to rely on legal constraints and punishment. You must also change your ideas and values, and even negate and rename some bad ingredients in the culture.The difficulty of controlling control, or just like the Shas of the epidemic, the game is repeatedly banned with the forgottenness of human beings or stubbornness.
