Famed anthropologist Jane Goodall is blaming humans’ abuse of Mother Nature for the global coronavirus crisis.
“It is our disregard for nature and our disrespect of the animals we should share the planet with that has caused this pandemic, that was predicted long ago,” the 86-year-old animal expert told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The British scientist, best known for her lifelong study of chimpanzees, argued that destroying habitats has forced animals into closer proximity, spreading diseases — and ultimately infecting humans.
She said the deadly crisis also highlights the dangers of “meat markets for wild animals in Asia, especially China, and our intensive farms where we cruelly crowd together billions of animals around the world.”
“These are the conditions that create an opportunity for the viruses to jump from animals across the species barrier to humans,” she told AFP while promoting a new National Geographic documentary, “Jane Goodall: The Hope.”

All of the godless jump the shark.
Good for Jane. She will do well living in her jungle alone.
Another outstanding case that 1) ‘highly educated’ individuals can be wrong and idiotic and 2) can’t fix stupid.
Jane, the Ape Women speaks
Well let’s clear away the rest of the jungle in a hazmat suit and get it all over with. Then there won’t be anything left to worry about with that logic.
Eat a bat Jane.

Maybe you should put your head in a tightly tied bag for a few minutes. Jane Goodall is a good woman.
You speak like a MOrooon.
Oh I get it, so we deserved to get this virus, okie dokie Jane..now if YOU get it than what
Jane obviously has learned the skill of running like a raped ape. She only stops for the largest dominant male gorillas.
I thought she was dead. We can only hope.
*shrug*
She can go kiss a Gorilla’s azz.
Actually, I thought they ate her, or at least killed her. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else.
It is amazing to me how someone can totally renounce their association with science by saying something progressive.
She probably already has and other parts.
Of course. About 40 years ago I was getting out of my car going into a McDonalds for some breakfast. A guy who had parked next to me was walking out to get into his pickup. He had a DNR (Dept of Natural Resources) patch on his shirt that I noticed. I turned around and noticed the bumper sticker on his vehicle...”I hate humans”. I always thought that odd and had never seen one before or since. “Animal rights” activists can be dangerous. FYI.
I thought she was long dead.
