My thoughts and sympathies go out to all victims, their families and friends of those horrific attacks in Sydney. This violence has no place in modern society. One of the goals of such attacks is to weaken democracies by spreading fear and thus pushing for authoritarian and xenophobic governments.

What does animal ag use all those antibiotics for? The dairy industry, for ex, uses them to treat mastitis, a terrible condition that arises frequently b/c dairy production is brutal & pushes their bodies to the point of collapse. For that, we're willing to risk the effectiveness of modern medicine?
At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock.
It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%.
I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"
