No culture has a monopoly on this type of behavior. For instance, it's widely believed that HIV was introduced to the human population by African populations eating monkeys and apes. It's well past time that we recognize that eating unsanitary, exotic meats is a threat to the entire human population. For as bad as the ensuing epidemics have become, the relative difficulty of transmitting HIV and the relative survivability of SARS-CoV-2 are enormous strokes of luck; we won't always be this lucky.

Totally agree. There's places everyone can improve upon with regard to things like this, but wet markets are an obvious starting place, I think.
