Are we doing enough to prevent another pandemic?
10/26/21 • 20 min
We’ve all been living in an uncertain world during the COVID-19 pandemic. But we know where the virus came from: intensively confined animals, likely at a wild animal market. Shutting down these markets would help stop the spread of future viruses, but many countries refuse. In this episode, we'll learn whether we’re doing enough to stop the spread of future pandemics.
Love and compassion for animals can bring everyone together. ‘Humane Voices’ is the official podcast of the Humane Society of the United States. We’ll explore the issues facing animals, interview worldwide animal experts, and discuss what you can do to get involved and help. If you care about the welfare of animals, or have a special pet or two in your life, this is the podcast for you.
