This is an article about how the pandemic has affected wildlife in a negative way. This article explains how the cause of COVID was from wildlife and if we continue to trade wild animals like we do now many more of these viruses may break out. Another thing this article touches on that is important is how COVID is not just a human virus but an animal virus too. Large cats in zoos were catching COVID as well as animals that were used for their fur in multiple countries. This article explains how the vaccine was being tested on primates which affected their wildlife negatively especially because a lot of vaccines that work on primates do not work on humans. This article touches on other important things such as support animals, animals raised for food, and how to help the cause.
