Antibiotics are irrelevant to COVID. It's a virus, not a bacteria.

True, is there anything animals get to stop spreading viruses? Never heard of that

Not keeping them in cramped filthy conditions like those that exist in Chinese meat markets. Particularly small mammals which are genetically similar enough to humans for a virus to jump species. There's a reason all the nastiest plagues have come from people trying to eat bats and monkeys.

Factory farming suffering animals, especially chicken live under exactly those conditions, just that we dont see them

Bats are not genetically similar to us, but the same as birds they can carry diseases over distance.

Lots of diseases came from "regular western farm animals"
