Trade in live wildlife puts all of us at risk
When living wild animals and their parts are treated as commodities and traded, the resulting harm does not stop with them. Wild animals pay the first price. But ultimately, everyone does. The same conditions that compromise animal health and welfare also increase risks to human health, biodiversity and ecosystems. A new white paper from the International Alliance against Health Risks in Wildlife Trade, lead by People for Nature and Peace Founder and CEO Dr Barbara Maas and wildlife disease expert Prof. Alex Greenwood, examines why and how live wildlife trade and markets generate far-reaching human, animal and environmental health risks. Wild animals pay the first price for live wildlife trade. But ultimately, everyone does.
From Cage to Contagion: The Global Health Risks of Fur Farming
Trials to to use dead animal bodies from fur-farms, such as mink, foxes, and raccoon dogs, as feed for livestock or to other fur-farm animals in China raise serious concerns about their potential impact on human health, animal health, and the broader environment.
People for Nature & Peace's new report is a stark reminder that the true cost of fur extends far beyond the cruelty inflicted on the animals that are caught up in it but reaches into the very fabric of global health. It is a call to action, not just to end fur farming but to prohibit the introduction of carnivore remains into animal feed chains.

No nature. No us.
It's that simple. Extinctions caused by humans have reached an unprecedented high and continue to accelerate.
A fundamental shift in how we relate to nature and other animals is needed, if we want them and us to survive and avoid collapsing ecosystems and escalating conflicts. And best of all, it will make us happier.
