Hong Kong’s ‘zero covid’ strategy, aiming to eliminate all traces of Covid within its borders had prompted the country to cull over 2,000 hamsters and other small animals who ‘may have covid’.



The move comes after one worker at a pet shop tested positive
But it has unsurprisingly not been disclosed whether said worker was in contact with those previously infected, or had been abroad. But it has been revealed their spouse and child has since tested ‘provisionally positive’

Any hamster owners who bought their pet after 22 December will be forced inhumanely to HAND OVER their beloved pets to Hong Kong authorities, who will murder it in an attempt to prevent the spread of covid

There will also be a ban on the import of hamsters
So far there is no clear evidence animal-human transmission is possible

The move sadly brings back memories of the culling of millions of Danish minks in late 2020

The move also brings back memories of late 2019, when it was suggested, and still theorised, covid was created by the unhygienic conditions and slaughter conditions of wild animals, such as bats, in Wuhan, China
