For centuries (esp., in the past few decades) of horrific torture of animals from cradle to grave will not go unanswered by nature. Nature has a way to balance misalignments. This may be the very visible beginnings of that.
“Viruses tend to coopt these molecules and use them as their receptors,” explained Kanta Subbarao, director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza, in Melbourne, Australia, who spent years doing coronavirus animal research.
Because those receptors evolved differently from one species to another, depending on the purpose they’re supposed to serve within the body, the viral proteins that can unlock a human cell can’t necessarily do the same in a macaque or mouse.

On the other note (but same self-induced cognitive dissonance), while this virus is "spreading", people are still happily gorging on raw sushi and bloodstains ridden steaks. And that too without a hint of irony and clue what they are doing to themselves (and the entire civilization).
As they say... I am amazed by how we survived this long.
