It is the habit of Chinese consumption of "野味" ( game animals) that is again the cause of the outbreak. By game animals, we are not talking about the typical pig, cow, goose or lamb, those common domesticated animals seldom come in contact with bats and are not the likely to be intermediary host for this new type SARS. Instead we are talking about wild animals like civets, weasels and so forth, ones that are wild caught. The unsanitary conditions that these animals are kept in and the lack of care or sheer ignorance in regulating these wet markets are contributing to repeat outbreaks of unknown infections.
The mainland as a start really needs to regulate these wet markets better and educate the workers there to ensure basic workplace hygiene. More importantly, they should consider the desirablility of maintaining this habit of eating wild exotic animals, since the mainland authorities have shown a repeated inability to regulate and manage these wet markets, perhaps the better long-term solution should be stopping the consumption of these wild animals altogether. And since they are the CCP, they can do this if they really care about the health of its people. The fact they haven't shows how much the common people's health really matters to them.
