In the Afterword in the newly-released paperback of Think Like A Vegan you'll find a summary of H5N1 developments, which by now has progressed even more. Despite what you'll read, it did not originate in China. H5N1 was first identified in Scotland in 1959. From the CDC www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/avi...

Absolutely knock me down with a breeze. I’m reading the 2nd edition of Marc Bekoff’s _The Emotional Lives of Animals_. It just came out in 2024. I randomly opened to this page, citing my book Think Like a Vegan. I am so honoured, emotional and overwhelmed. I had no idea
