Don’t ignore root cause of this crisis

-

I was so pleased to read your article by Evgeny Lebedev last week in relation to the background to Covid-19.

I have been saying to my friends that we have to get to the root cause of all these viruses, which is the lack of animal husbandry in China.

We in the Western world should offer our help to China to advise and educate them. If we don’t do this, even if we see the end of Covid-19, another virus will spread again. We should not be e politicall­y correct at the expense of ignoring an important matter. Karen Kelly,

Hopefully a positive from this will be the world demanding an end to the misery of these animals.

I agree entirely with Evgeny that the world must come together and demand that China desist from these practices. China has to be held accountabl­e, otherwise the same problems will happen again.

The hunting of wild animals is not acceptable – it disturbs nature’s fine balance.
