Are you sure about that? Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan wasn't selling pets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huanan_Seafood_Wholesale_Market …
Read here about zoonosis-the usual way disease is spread from animals to humans. In the US, this is how rabies is spread from bats-not by eating or being bitten. Just by transmission through bat saliva. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis

I get it, but what are those animals doing there in the market in the first place? They're not for show. They're to eat. That's why they're there. Whether or not someone actually ingested one & got the virus, doesn't really matter. Collect animals to sell to eat = disease.

Oh I understand. But you asked me if the virus was transmitted from eating those animals. The answer appears to be no.
