To stamp out bush meat, teach kids first.
杜绝野味，从小抓起。
\meat from the mountain,\by Wuhan University Press?
But following the outbreak of the novel corona virus, which has been linked to the
consumption of bush meat, a reader complained online that the description was improper; the press responded by withdrawing the book from all shops?
The action is welcomed, as some research shows the virus came from dead bats, while others suspect it might have been transmitted from bats to pangolins （［脊椎］穿山甲；［鱼］綾鲤）and from them to humans. Whichever animal was the host, researchers are in agreement that bush meat is not safe for consumption, and that masked palm civets, which caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic in 2003, should definitely be taken off menus.
However, a public outcry alone cannot help? The law prohibits con sumption of
protected species, but those not on the protected list, like masked palm civets, become sitting ducks for those who love eating wild animals? Without a law in place, one cannot stop restaurants from serving wild animal meat, even though researchers know the dan gers they pose ?
The first step toward legislation prohibiting bush meat is to build consensus.Education is essentia （［医］［生物］要素,露，香精剂（挥发油醇溶 液））:only when everyone realizes the dangers of eating bush meat will they give up the habit and push for legislation.

And such aware ness should beg in early ? Teachi ng children from a young age not to consume wild animals will make it easier to ensure they refrain from doing so when they grow up.
The Wuhan University Press encyclopedia has been withdrawn from shops, but that is because the press is located in Wuhan? It is hoped that other press houses across the country browse through their published books and make similar corrections. Striking out consumption of bush meat in children ' s reading material is a good way to begin.
