Why does anyone think these markets are okay?

Wet markets? Do you want to be able to go to a market and buy fresh fish? Do you think that's an option that should be available to you or to your favourite restaurant owner? Because if so, then well done, you're one of the people that think these markets are ok.

Edit: Here's Gordon Ramsey giving you a guide on how to buy good fish (spoiler: he's at a wet market) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GTTXJKZ08Q

that isn't a wet market. apparently just regular food markets are considered wet markets by people that don't know what a wet market is.

those fish are DEAD.

one staple of a wet market is LIVE ANIMALS.

So I'm hearing you want to ban all sea food restaurants.

i don't believe I advocated banning anything within these post comments.

but if you want to accuse me of that, you do you.

since we're on the topic, a sea food restaurant proably wouldn't classify as a wet market, since the only live animals there are fish.

Dead of live makes little difference.

What we're seeing is racism against a different culture.

No. I have no interest in doing that.

Most people in this thread are too dumb to realize that these "wet markets" exist all around the world including in North America.

American Swing Flu killed tens of thousands of people due to poor agricultural practices.

If anything, we should talk about banning the farming of animals altogether.

This is such a weak comment. It introduces no new data or arguments and simply casts emotion about from a biased viewpoint.

Comments like these are cratering any value the HN forums used to have. Please stop for the good of the community.
