I don't believe a 'wet market' is any worse than a confined animal feeding operation in terms of breeding pestilence.
CAFOs have continued to exist through indiscriminate use of antibiotics, but the potential future impact of their practices seems like it's even bigger than the impact of bush meat in a wet market
(Also, the wet markets are not the definitive source of sars-2. I thought the pangolin-as-pets trade seemed to be the more likely source?)
