Hidden Health Hazards: How U.S. Animal Industries Could Spark the Next Pandemic - A Conversation with Ann Linder

SolPods Studio

In our latest podcast episode, Ann Linder, animal law expert, discusses our relationships with animals, including captive wildlife, livestock, and exotic pets. She details the risks of future pandemics due to poorly regulated animal industries in the U.S. and finds that the epicenter might not be a distant market but could be much closer to home - at a pet shop, a livestock auction or at your kitchen table!

Ann is a co-author of a groundbreaking report that delves deep into 36 different animal industries. Shockingly, all of these industries are far less regulated than believed, leaving wide gaps for pathogens to spillover and pose a constant threat to public health.
