Report Highlights Disease Risks from U.S. Animal Industries
A report by experts at Harvard Law School and New York University warns that the United States' animal industries, including industrial agriculture, fur farming, and the exotic pet trade, pose a significant risk of creating infectious disease outbreaks in humans. The report highlights the lack of comprehensive regulation and public awareness surrounding these practices, which contribute to the spread of zoonotic diseases. The authors emphasize the need for better regulation, public education, and data collection to mitigate these risks and protect public health.
