The Earth is for all. From microorganisms to the largest species to the dominating Human species, the earth is for all. All the organisms live here and share their spaces. But do they have equal space?
Earth needs a transformation
Transformation where all the kids of the earth are Healthy and Happy!
The Earth is for all. From microorganisms to the largest species to the dominating Human species, the earth is for all. All the organisms live here and share their spaces. But do they have equal space or if we say similar dominance. No? We, the greedy humans and the most dominated species on earth, have drastically affected the other species living on it.
The world is suffering from Coronavirus
And here is the earth protecting its kids from humans with its best possible ways. Maybe the earth is taking a deep breath and paused itself for the required balance on our planet. The human race worldwide is suffering from the novel Coronavirus. Till now, more than 2.5 million individuals have been affected due to the dangerous coronavirus.
It has been suspected that the coronavirus has emerged from bats via pangolins at one of China’s wild animal markets. Humans have tortured the animals in different industries from production for food at large scale, clothing manufacturing, or traditional medicines and whatnot. Humans have played a vital role in using animals in any manner possible. Thousands of animals are tortured for food in the farming industry, or wild animals in live markets are the reason behind the earth’s retaliation.
The zoonotic viruses
The zoonotic viruses have a strong connection with pandemic potential. The ideal conditions of propagation of such viruses are animals in a stressed, immunological compromised and crowded altogether in unhygienic locations. Other activities like captivity, handling, transport, slaughter, and consumption of these animals provide the chance where diseases get transferred to humans. Let’s see a few examples:
- SARS epidemic in 2003 affected over 8000 people and took lives of 744 humans where civet cats in the wildlife market in Guangdong were identified as the vector for transmission of the virus.
- Ebola has affected over 13,000 lives since 2014, which has been traced to fruit bat and primates slaughtered for food.
- Nipah virus in 1998 killed over half of the infected humans, which was also traced in fruit bats via intensively farmed pigs in Malaysia.
- Measles, which took millions of lives, are believed to have originated from a virus found due to the domestication of sheep and goats and transmitted to humans.
- The deadly HIV was jumped to humans through hunting, butchering, and consumption of chimpanzees. AIDS has killed over 32 million humans to date
The majority of our consumption, be it meat, dairy, and eggs come from animals like cows, chickens, goats and other immunologically- compromised animals which are confined to cramped, unhygienic conditions and transported long distances without proper handling and care.
What proof do we want now?
Another pandemic?
Endless torture to animals by humans
These are mere examples of how human behaviour towards animals has led to pandemics and affected human lives. Many examples can cover what animals have faced due to endless torture by humans! These operations and mass killings are hot spots for the cross-infection of diseases, continue to combine and mutate, creating lethal diseases to which no human is immune.
Several studies demonstrated that how intensive animal farming increases the risk of such pandemics. Confined animal feeding operations amplify the influenza strains, and large scale commercial animal farms increase the risk of outbreaks and transmission of zoonotic diseases. In India, chickens are thriving in supply chains for food that is facing the torture in cramped cages, overcrowded sheds, or cages, often with no natural light or fresh air, unable to peck or spread their wings. Human pandemics can arise when a strain of the avian influenza virus/Bird-flu is transmitted from its source in wild aquatic birds to farmed chickens Intensive animal farming poses a pandemic-level threat to humans as well as animal health.
The earth and its animals deserve a better life
The earth and its animals deserve a better life just as we humans want.
Do humans need to think again in this occurring lockdown stages worldwide that aren’t we a greedy species on this earth?
We need to think again about sharing the resources of the earth with other species as well and respect their existence. The earth belongs to all kinds of species, be it small or big.
Humans are in cages now, and animals are roaming freely on streets.
The air is pure
The rivers are cleaner.
And the earth is breathing.
Earth is Healing!
