It’s funny I have not really heard a lot from all my animal rights activists.
It’s funny I have not really heard a lot from all my animal rights activists. Where is PETA, the Animal Justic Project, The Humane Society or the WWF? All very quite on this one. For those who think PETA stops at the U.S. shorelines you are sadly mistaken. On 01/18 (when this article was published) the front page of their website discussed Captive mistreated monkeys in Asia that are used to gather coconuts. Just another example of the world looking the other way, while China’s conduct would get a middle class, blue collar, working U.S. citizen jailed.
This is an interesting fact about Minks in this article! China also encourages individuals not to kiss their pet.
I don’t want any Human or Animal mistreated, abused or killed for no reason. All I’m looking for is consistency.

“We cannot exclude the possibility that the shopkeeper was in fact actually infected from the hamsters,” said Edwin Tsui, a controller at the Centre for Health Protection.
While this coronavirus most likely jumped from animals to humans in the first place, the outbreak became a pandemic because the virus spreads so easily between people.

The government announced late Monday that two former flight attendants have been arrested for leaving their homes during quarantine and later being confirmed to have coronavirus infections. It did not identify their employer, but said the two arrived from the U.S. on Dec. 24 and 25 and “conducted unnecessary activities” while under medical surveillance.
The two have been released on bail and will have their case heard in court on Feb. 9. If convicted of violating anti-epidemic regulations, they could face up to six months' imprisonment and a fine of up to 5,000 Hong Kong dollars ($642).
Previously in Hong Kong, some air and sea crew members could isolate at home under quarantine exemptions. Regulations were tightened on Dec. 31 to require crew members to isolate in a designated quarantine hotel for about a week.
