John lord, the founder of Northern Animal Welfare Co-Operative, has been concerned about the protection of animal rights, opposed to all animal exploitation, such as fur industry, meat industry, provided educational information to people to promote the benefits of vegetarianism and peaceful protests against animal cruelty. During this time, because of the outbreak of new coronavirus, he began to warn the public from a new starting point that, for his own health, do not eat animals anymore.
During this period of isolation, NAWC has developed some new members due to online promotion and has close contact and communication with them. At the same time, it has also accumulated a lot of knowledge about the connection between animals and viruses. The leaflets and props echoing the hot topics have been prepared for further publicity. Perhaps this event on the connection between animals and viruses can attract enough attention.
After the closure of the city’s policies, they will also change their previous activities. They focused on the connection between animal husbandry and the market, and understood how these viruses are transferred to people after they are produced in animals. And, they did a series of online market surveys, how many people are willing to do with them, or whether such a topic will bring new attention, because many British people still think that it has nothing to do with them, just happen In Wuhan, China, the consequences of consuming animals have affected the entire world. At the same time, it also emphasizes that those suppliers of animal products in the market should also be responsible for the current situation.
“We generally know that pandemic viruses come from the consumption of animals and animal products. For example, in addition to the new coronavirus, the viruses brought from animals such as SARS, Ebola, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, etc. have all been harmful to people. Has affected the health of life, and three-quarters of new or emerging infectious diseases come from animals and factory farming / marketing, which is a time bomb for a pandemic in the future. Now is the time to end animal consumption, and choose not only vegetarians It protects animals and promotes our healthy life. I hope people can learn this lesson and make the right choices again. Even if you don’t care about animals, you should at least think about humans and stop eating animals and animal products. Will first reduce the number of diseases transmitted to humans. “
It is understood that because of the impact of the virus, farms and pastures have also experienced unprecedented disasters. Producers lack a consumer chain, and many dairy products and eggs are stranded, resulting in a lot of waste. Not only that, but it also causes great harm to animals. Despite the oversupply of milk, dairy farmers still need to milk cows several times a day. This waste is really distressing. Indeed, we need to move forward and build a sustainable plant-based food system that will serve better but healthy human lives.
