Abstract:
As the novel coronavirus outbreak spreads globally with devastating effects on human health, pets are also becoming unnecessary victims amidst the pandemic panic. Many have been reluctantly left home alone by owners who have been forced to temporarily evacuate their homes. And, although no evidence exists to indicate that they can either transmit the virus or develop its associated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), fear among the public that pets might play a role in spreading COVID-19 has resulted in pets being abandoned or even killed. This article outlines some of the ways in which the current pandemic has negatively impacted the welfare of pets. It also highlights the relationships between animal, human, and environmental health, as well as the importance of taking a collaborative transdisciplinary One Health approach to help prevent future COVID-19 outbreaks.
摘要:
随着新型冠状病毒疫情在全球蔓延,对人类健康造成毁灭性影响,在大流行的恐慌中,宠物也成为不必要的受害者。许多人被迫暂时撤离房屋的业主不情愿地独自离开了家。And,尽管没有证据表明它们可以传播病毒或发展其相关的冠状病毒病2019(COVID-19),公众担心宠物可能在传播COVID-19中发挥作用,导致宠物被遗弃甚至死亡。本文概述了当前大流行对宠物福利产生负面影响的一些方式。它还强调了动物之间的关系,人类,和环境健康,以及采取协作跨学科的OneHealth方法来帮助预防未来COVID-19爆发的重要性。
