Animal lover Ricky Gervais last night demanded an immediate end to grim wet markets which are a hotbed for spreading infection.
The comedian was horrified by the Sunday Mirror’s exclusive snaps of bats, snakes and dogs dumped on a street to be sold in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Other markets had dead rats next to live reptiles with jaws tied shut. Dead dogs lay on crates holding live cats.
Comedian Ricky backed our call for action, saying: “For the sake of people and animals, wildlife trade and consumption has to end, now.”
The coronavirus is feared to have spread from a market in Wuhan, China.
Ricky is backed by fellow star Paul O’Grady, wildlife hosts Michaela Strachan and Philippa Forrester and reality star Pete Wicks.
