Pandemic: that's the word that best defines 2020. It held us all in its grip, some more tragically than others. What can we learn from this experience? How can we prevent it from happening again? What is the connection to veganism? COVID-19 is a zoonotic illness that jumped from animals to humans. Whether you believe the likely scenario that it first cropped up in a retail slaughter market in China or not... it is a zoonotic illness. The details don't change that essential fact. If we lived in a vegan world, where animals were not exploited, tortured & killed for food, clothing, industry. etc, we would not be experiencing this crisis. Now, meet some of America's vegan leaders: Systems Analyst/Engineer Dr. Sailesh Rao of ClimateHealers.org, Journalist/Filmmaker Donny Moss of TheirTurn.net, Animal Alliance Network's Ellen Dent, NYCLASS's Edita Birnkrant and our host Jane Velez-Mitchell, founder of JaneUnChained News Network! Hear their take on 2020 and predictions for 2021!
