    We still give them shitloads yeah, but it’s complicated. Changes have been made globally. There’s basically no risk to us. The antibiotics don’t get into our food, and the superbugs that might breed aren’t viable in humans. Wild animals still pose more risk.

      and the superbugs that might breed aren’t viable in humans.

      But diseases jump from non-humans to humans all the time?
      At least, Wikipedia chooses to spell out the sentence “Most human diseases originated in non-humans” and lists a who’s who of pandemics as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis

      Or do you mean something different?
