As Bloomberg explains, epidemics are a product of urbanisation. It was only when humans started to live in highly densely populated cities around 5,000 years ago were infections able to attain the critical mass needed to kill us in large numbers. The worldwide disease outbreaks we call pandemics started to emerge only when our urban civilization went global. Think about this in terms of the livestock industry. In the space of 50 years, factory farming has “urbanised” an animal population that was previously scattered between small and midsize farms.
And therefore I welcome the Corona Virus and say thank you to China! Does that make me an extremist? No, I am not, and of course, I sincerely hope this virus will be under control soon and that there won't be any further casualties. But the world needs a serious wake-up call, and this might be just it! I hope that this is a serious wakeup call for consumers, politicians, supermarkets and farmers to change this unsustainable system that has gone way beyond our control!
This virus is a huge opportunity for sleepy Europe to wake up and turn the tides. There has never been a better moment than today. This is our chance as Europe, to take the lead, and convert factory farming into a sustainable, more animal-friendly and healthier way of farming. Simply put, to move from away from quantity and to start focusing on quality.
This means smaller numbers of livestock, a full stop on the export of live animals, and reduced export of meat to other nations. Meat prices will increase, driving demand down (which is also healthier). So that is the price that consumers will have to pay. In return, they pay for improved animal welfare and for better quality, as the animals will have had a better life, without stress and will be healthier animals.
Video in Italian for the 800th KM: I ask Italian meat-eating consumers to ask how the animal has lived when they buy meat in the supermarket, butcher or in restaurants, stating that if we continue to buy factory-farmed meat, we sustain this sick industry. In a civilised society, there is no place for any type of factory farm!

Only through education, we can put an end to intensive farming and together we will!!! We are raising 10 Euros for every kilometer we ski, which will be used to make a documentary about pigs. Please help us to realise this documentary and make the world a place without intensive farming!
