HK Plans To Cull Hamsters For Covid Prevention

HONG KONG, CHINA - JANUARY 20: A hamster sits in a cage after being adopted by volunteers who stopped an owner from surrendering it to the government outside the New Territories South Animal Management Centre on January 20, 2022 in Hong Kong, China. Hong Kong's pet shop owners have criticized but complied with a government decision to cull hamsters and temporarily ban imports of small animals over possible Covid-19 transmission links to humans. Though no existing literature suggests a link, the territory will proceed with the cull, angering many pet owners and animal rights advocates. (Photo by Louise Delmotte/Getty Images)
