It's been over a month since the lockdown; I do follow some of the most "intelligent" and "conscious" people on twitter - not one, not even one changed their mind about killing animals for their appetite (it goes without saying I deeply respect the ones who already changed and helping me become a better being).
Most of them became overnight economists, virologists, epidemiologists, doctors, and experts in everything under the sun (so much for epistemological modesty) but none of them talk about their cognitive dissonance of killing animals for their gastro-intestinal pleasures.
As expected, Turkey factory farms in South Carolina now has a known virus but we wouldn't be lucky next time. Its a matter of time before an unknown virus is going to evolve (and maybe already in the process of evolving)
An infectious and fatal strain of bird flu has been confirmed in a commercial turkey flock in South Carolina, the first case of the more serious strain of the disease in the United States since 2017 and a worrisome development for an industry that was devastated by previous outbreaks.
The high pathogenic case was found at an operation in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, marking the first case of the more dangerous strain since one found in a Tennessee chicken flock in 2017. In 2015, an estimated 50 million poultry had to be killed at operations mainly in the Upper Midwest after infections spread throughout the region.
