> Reminder: the biggest source of new diseases is animal farming. Especially in countries that allow massive use of antibiotics. Reminder, this is obviously false. Animal trade, human travel and commerce, alien species, exotic pets, exotic wildfood ... are much, much, much worse. The only animal diseases that we had studied seriously and extensively are: 1) Human diseases 2) Diseases of pets. Canine and feline diseases 3) Diseases of human food. Poultry and cattle, and some fishes. We farm since 3000 years or so and have spent huge resources into researching each disease of cattle. Anything hidden in cattle that could affect human has affected us since 1000 years ago and is definitely not new. A farm would be the last place to look for a lot of new diseases.
