Why is there always a lab close to outbreaks ground zero? It's never the reason, but it's always there

Sad? Have you ever seen wild boars lmao rhey’re f****** invasive breed like nothing else destroy everything they can carry parasites attack everything they can. In Texas you can hire a helicopter tour with a machine gun to go hunt them with your buddies. There’s hundreds of thousands of them not giving a f*** destroying everything

Yeah but healthy adult boars have basically no natural predators in the Iberian peninsula and they are a very serious pest if they're not culled regularly.
