This investigation is on whether animals should be blamed for the worldwide pandemics. Its aim ison answering this inquisition with a denying initial hypothesis. Animals have been contaminatinghumans, but only as a corollary of human intervention upon their natural habitat. Animals thereforeare pushed to do so, mostly because of deforestation, urbanism and hunting. With their habitat filledwith people, wild animals tend to dive deeper into civilization. The method is the hypotheticaldeductive,through which it seeks to confirm or deny an initial hypothesis using bibliographicalresearch. An analysis of context is done for better addressing the initial question. Secondly, anexposition on demonization discourse towards the animals is fulfilled. The conclusion denies animalsas culprits for the pandemics, pointing out that humans, through their ways of life, have expandedand imposed their will upon nature, being the responsible ones.
