CHICKENS, VIRUS AND US

At the onset of the Coronavirus crisis in 2020, we took refuge in the countryside with our three children. While surfing the internet, the children found a video from an Asian food market showing dissected wild animals, including bats.They were shocked to see overcrowded animal cages destined for slaughter. In another video, they learned that the coronavirus had reportedly spread from wild animals to humans in a similar marketplace in Wuhan, China. Reflections on the relationship between humans and animals lead them to the decision to adopt chickens from the cage breeding farm and keep them as their local neighbours do. The children wanted to know why these chickens are pitiful and look so different from the hens in the neighbours’ gardens, and why people treat animals so ruthlessly.
