    You kinda keep jumping around regarding what your point is. First it was that caged animals caused all pandemics, and over time it has shifted to Europeans living close to animals caused all pandemics, and finally animals living close to humans caused all pandemics.

    Yes, close contact between animals will increase chances of mutations - but what are we supposed to do? If your point is “industrial farming is bad and increases chances of pandemics”, most people here would likely agree. But somehow you seem to be arguing that the black death was caused by people keeping rats and fleas in cages? Mixing your messages like this doesn’t help your point come across.

      Yeah, I noticed that they were bouncing around quite a bit and stating some facts, but also drawing some wild conclusions from those facts. (It’s a lost cause trying to separate those two trains of thought, me thinks.)

      Thank you for changing what I said to something different you can attack me on. If only people would take me serious on my fight against fleas in captivity.
