"These quotes from my email correspondence with them are important because they clearly show that I have never stated that all zoonotic disease originate from animal exploitation and they also show that I also did not claim that it was the physical consumption of animals that caused COVID-19 to be passed to humans.
Instead it was because 'the exploitation of animals creates environments where the likelihood of spillovers occurring is significantly increased, and if we weren't using animals for food we wouldn't have created situations where many of these diseases, including the latest coronavirus, were passed to humans'."

"The article goes on to say that 'most of the diseases cited in the graphic arose in conditions where animals were being hunted or raised for human consumption'. The journalist then incidentally fails to mention which ones didn’t. Below is a list of all the zoonotic diseases I listed with a citation.
Ebola - The hunting of animals.
Citation: https://www.sciencedaily..../2019/01/190124095156.htm
vCJD - Eating cattle infected with BSE.
Citation: https://www.fda.gov/anima...about-bse-mad-cow-disease
Swine Flu - Traced back to US pig farms.
Citation: https://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/cdcresponse.htm
Avian Flu - Poultry markets and farms.
Citation: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02757-4
HIV - Hunting of chimpanzees.
Citation: https://www.avert.org/professionals/history-hiv-aids/origin
SARS - Civet cat at a Chinese wet market.
Citation: https://eu.usatoday.com/s...rts-say-china/5053783002/
USA Today then add further evidence to support my claim by listing the Spanish flu from 1918 as another example of a pandemic that was traced back to animal farming. The Spanish flu incidentally killed 50 million people and is regarded as one of the worst pandemics of all time."
Een mooie conclusie:
"My argument has never been that all of these diseases are caused by the physical consumption of animals, but instead that exploiting animals creates environments where these spillovers are significantly more likely to happen.
This argument is illustrated by the fact that viruses such as COVID-19 and SARS originated from wet markets, where the virus was passed to humans from animals because those animals were there to be eaten. "
"Furthermore, the argument of veganism being a preventive measure is actually the same as the argument about reducing contact, as the reason veganism would work in reducing these diseases isn’t just about stopping the physical consumption, it’s more about stopping the environments where contact between animals and humans occurs. "
