Raymond Opia, an academic based in the United Kingdom and a vegetarian, explained that diseases like anthrax can arise from animals being fed the wrong things, as they are supposed to survive on vegetables and grains. He pointed out that recent outbreaks of Anthrax are not unexpected, as farmers in Europe are feeding cattle, chicken, pigs, and other animals with insects and other animals to promote rapid growth. This has led to the development of strange diseases in these animals.
Opia strongly advocated for everyone to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle and stop consuming meat from dead animals. He also highlighted that pandemics like COVID-19 have been traced back to animals. He suggested living on lentils, grains, vegetables, and fruits to maintain good health and look younger. A clergyman, also a vegetarian and animal specialist, Parkson Edjeketa, disclosed that the bacteria in dreaded anthrax is also found in soil.
