    That's unlikely the reason for the outbreak. Most likely has to do with the bioweapons research being done in Wuhan and a security lapse.
    You're effectively presenting the Muslim argument when they say pigs are dirty and Europe deserves swine flu because eating pigs is gross.

    I realise these cultures must of experienced some really bad famines at some point in the past so they had to resort to eating this nasty stuff and it became part of the culture. But really they don't need to eat this stuff (including cats and dogs) any more.
    I have heard stories the soviets resorted to eating cats and dogs in world war two, but it didnt become part of the culture and im sure they would say it was gross.

    That's a stupid argument. Bush meat is gross because it's not domesticated and industrialized. We could be eating healthy bats if there was enough demand for it.

    there's enough genetic link to a bat virus that likely jumped to another species (pangolin). The Chinese do need to stop eating exotic bush meat, SARS can be attributed to this practice. The recombination of swine flu could have had origins in crowded multi-species market as well.

    The bat soup thing was just to cover story. The virus was intentionally spread by a George Soros owned bioweapon facility in Wuhan.

    I ate horsemeat sausage from Finland a few years back, it was amazingly good. Would eat it again. People getting outraged over horse meat is funny.

    Let domesticate and industrialize it then so we can all enjoy bush meat including monkeys. And why stop then stop at monkeys, lets make it ok to eat humans as well. We are already domesticated we only need to industrialise the practice.

    This does not really make sense to me. This "nasty stuff" as you say is a purely emotional argument. I find minks very cute and slaughtering them seems awful, especially when they're kept in small cages and bred for their fur. Yet few seem to have problems with that. Pigs are killed left and right every day despite being very intelligent animals.

    Technically we shouldn't have a problem with eating human meat but we know eating brains of your own species can cause huge problems, see Kuru disease in Papua New Guinea. This is why the currently ongoing African swine flu outbreak wreaks havoc in pigs but does nothing to humans.
