Last year, a pandemic virus emerged
that has altered our way of life.
In April, 2020, we released a video of live animal markets
of India exposing the public health crisis.
These market scores, as well
as the intense suffering inflicted on farmed animals,
we continued our investigation during the pandemic
and were appalled to witness that despite the dangers
of live animal markets
and public safety, they continue to operate unabated.
The animals at these markets suffer
not only from mistreatment,
but also from a weakened immunity system.
From the stress of their transport, confinement,
and unhygienic living conditions,
they suffer due to overcrowding
and are deprived of food and water.
Sometimes for days slaughter
is carried out without stunning, with the animals left
to agonize for minutes after their throats are slit.
There Is no health inspection conducted
before the animals are slaughtered at these markets.
Carcasses are prepared
and sold for human consumption in the most filthy
and unhygienic conditions.
The food safety and standards authority of India
prohibits meat shops from slaughtering animals,
but it is rampant across the country.
Despite their danger, these places are still open
to the public drawing, massive crowds of people
and worse continuing to trade
and brutally kill animals of all kinds.
For animals. These markets spell misery for humans.
They represent an image threat to our health and safety.
For the sake of everyone, it's time
to ban live animal markets.
Once and for all.
Together we can make the world a safer
and more compassionate place.

animal markets.
