Between all the uncertainty about COVID-19 (the coronavirus), there is one thing that we know for sure: it originated from the cruel and inhumane trade of live wild animals.  

I'm always amazed at the arrogance of humans. We seem to think that we can control and plunder nature and torture animals without any negative consequences to the human race.
