Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday highlighted a report from the Daily Mail revealing how Chinese wet markets are still selling bats, cats and dogs for people to eat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From The Daily Caller, \u201cTucker Carlson: \u2018China Continues To Threaten The Rest Of Us With Wet Markets’\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Chinese wet markets, where all sorts of unusual animals \u2014 from bats to cats to scorpions \u2014 are sold to consumers as food, have long been considered<\/a> a breeding ground for exotic viruses. Despite the fact that such markets were considered<\/a>ground zero for the novel coronavirus outbreak, reports emerged<\/a> over the weekend that wet markets have been reopened in major cities across China.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we still don\u2019t know where the coronavirus came from originally in Wuhan, and anyone who tells you we are certain of that is lying to you,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cBut many people believe it could have originated in the wet market in Wuhan. That\u2019s a place where consumers buy the meat of wild animals to eat including bats. Wild animal wet markets have long been recognized as a major pandemic threat. As coronavirus spread, China announced it would crack down on them, obviously, but it looks like the crackdown didn\u2019t last long. According to Daily Mail, across China, wet markets are reopening and selling the same animals that they did before.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fox News host listed two major cities, one where \u201cdogs and cats are both for sale as food\u201d and another with \u201ca stand selling traditional Chinese medicines advertises things like lizards, scorpions, and, yes, bats.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
