COVID-19 Panic Causes People Killing Pets

COVID-19 Panic is Causing People To Kill Their House Pets. Officials Announce Humans Can't Get Infected From Animals

It's honestly crazy the things people do in the world. I've caught "infected wind" that people are starting to dump their household pets because they fear that the animal can transfer the Coronavirus to them. Some people have even started killing their cats and dogs thinking that this will prevent their family from getting sick. 

People Are Dumping and Killing Their House Pets To Prevent  COVID-19

I realize that a lot of people don't understand a lot about COVID-19. I'm not an expert by any means either! The amount of knowledge I have about the Coronavirus and preventing myself from getting infected and preventing the spread is likely the same as your level of education on the topic; probably even less! 

But one thing I do know is that killing your dog isn't going to help you with not getting infected. Not only is this just a cruel and terrible act, but also your loved ones will dearly miss their house pet. I also think is USA animals have rights similar to humans. I believe it's likely against the law to kill your dog or cat. 

And let's assume that it is legal to do it and let's also assume that your house pet is worthless, always getting into trouble, etc... and you feel killing it for those reasons alone are justified. Okay, well it's not going to help with preventing you from getting infected with COVID-19 and if anything killing your pet creates a bio-hazard inside your house which then makes you and your family susceptible to catching some other disease. 

Long story short: If you kill your cat or dog you have a higher chance of getting a disease from having to deal with a dead animal in your house compared to the risk of getting infected with Coronavirus while in quarantine. Just my random thoughts for the day. You're welcome to post comments. I'm curious what you think.
