Animals that humans raise are only second in biomass volume to viruses on earth today. Our apetite for meat seems endless, and we can't seem to stop reproducing ourselves. It was only a matter of time until stuff like this would start happening. Also see, swine fever.

You're speaking very generally.

Many peoples of the world don't eat farmed meat the way the western world does, preferring fish or even insect meat as a mainstay. A percentage of the population is vegan or vegetarian.

Also, "we can't stop reproducing" mostly applies to certain Asian countries at this point. The plummeting birth rate in the western/industrialized countries is actually becoming a problem.

Don't let me interfere with your self flagellation on behalf of all humans, though.
