Zoonotic pathogens can be transferred from animals to humans in numerous ways.
The direct way is during hunting from contact with an animal through scratches and bites or while butchering, and another way is through consuming.
People engaged in wildlife hunting, butchering, and consumption are at risk of contracting infections through close contact with both live and dead animals or through contaminated sources like feces and fomites.
There are well-documented cases of zoonotic infections linked to hunting, such as Ebola outbreaks associated with handling infected chimpanzees, gorillas, and duiker carcasses, as well as cases of brucellosis in Australian hunters of wild boar.
Additionally, foodborne infections from consuming wild meat have been reported worldwide, including Hepatitis E from raw or undercooked venison in Japan and trichinellosis from wild boar meat in France.
By embracing sustainable living, we adopt practices that contribute to the well-being of the environment, society, and economy.
The idea of a sustainable diet was established in 2010.
A sustainable diet is considered to be a diet that resembles a nutritionally healthy diet.
Sustainability goes beyond admiration; it is a commitment to maintaining the delicate balance between our species and the planet.
Several scientists are “defending” meat consumption, replying that red meat is the source of essential nutrients.
