There's been lots of stories about H5N1, but I've yet to see a deep dive into where it came from—which is also the story of how industrial poultry production methods are responsible for turning harmless influenzas into monsters.

Just listened to @brandonkeim.bsky.social in @ourhenhouse.org. What a great and deep conversation. It resonates so much as a worldview and the outlook for change. I'll get my hands on 'meet the neighbors' soon. Sounds like one of those books you keep with yourself for a while after reading it

Just discussed this issue today with some colleagues. It's depressing to think about how these precious animals are turned into waste by the animal killing industry
Every year, six billion newborn chicks are killed at egg-laying facilities around the world. These aren’t accidental killings, but rather, an established practice in the egg industry known as “chick culling.”

Why Is Chick Culling Still a Thing When Other Technologies Exist?
It’s more profitable to grind up billions of baby chicks than it is to raise them for meat.
