Mini Mindset: The real cause of pandemics?
Adam Cox is joined by Juliet Gellatley, Founder and Director of Viva!, to explain why 3 in 4 new or emerging infectious diseases come from animals – mainly from wildlife trade and factory farming. Like SARS, bird flu, swine flu, Ebola and AIDS, Coronavirus originated in animals. 56 zoonotic diseases are responsible for an estimated 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million deaths a year. Campaigners warn humanity will always be at risk to future pandemics while factory farms and wildlife markets continue. In response to this, animal rights group Viva! have launched their new 3 in 4 campaign, in a bid to raise public awareness of the dangers of continued meat consumption.
