COVID-19可能会切断野生动物贸易
保护专家说，在冠状病毒大流行结束后，野生动物贸易可能会大大减少。
他们说这种病毒可能是从中国的野生动物市场开始的。
病毒来自蝙蝠或一种叫做穿山甲的动物。
然后它就越过身体感染人类。
国际人道主义协会（HumaneSocietyInternational）表示：
“食用可能携带疾病的野生动物会对人类健康构成真正威胁。
”野生动物保护协会呼吁禁止从事野生动物贸易的动物市场。
它说：
“这不仅有助于防止疾病的传播，还将解决物种灭绝的主要驱动因素之一。
”
伦敦动物学会的一位发言人说，动物市场可能是“定时炸弹”。
他说，市场可以为新病毒的产生和发展提供完美的条件。
他补充说，如果我们把动物当作商品来买卖，将来我们将再次陷入困境。
科学家说，许多新的病毒爆发是从动物身上开始的。
大约75%的新传染病来自动物。
最近的例子包括SARS、MERS和埃博拉。
来自动物的感染每年在全世界造成数百万的疾病和死亡。
一位专家说，世界必须尽快采取行动，因为“实际上，下一个人畜共患病风险出现只是时间问题”。
