Is mad cow coming back?

Bird flu (specifically H5N1) has notably been spreading quite quickly in cows rights now. It's been crossing between species much more than it has in the past

1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk had bird flu virus fragments

As always, nobody could have seen this coming. Of course.

Lower supply with a stable demand means an increase in profits. Doesn't matter what decreases the supply. I tell you what.

It's one of a few reasons why I only eat halal / kosher. Animal treatment from birth to slaughter is far more humane than that of how the heathens treat and slaughter animals.

Yeah yeah downvote me, heathens.

Damn. As an atheist vegan I’m treating animals even better than religious people.

Pat yourself on the back.

There's nothing wrong with eating halal/kosher, but labelling the exploitation and slaughter of a living creature as 'more humane' is a delusion.

If you care about the humane treatment of animals, climate change, food supply safety, or even just want to decrease your monthly grocery bill you would commit to a plant based diet.

I'm not criticizing your diet, I am just asking that you own it and quit deluding yourself. 'muh local farm is more humane' propaganda is total bullshit. You support the exploitation and slaughter of these animals, quit trying to tell people you don't.

So with halal, animals are not stuffed into big metal buildings where the temperature can reach 130-140 degrees fahrenheit (if not higher). They are not beaten. They are not tortured. They do not have any part of them removed for any reason (for example chicken beaks). These animals are treated humanely. They are fed what they are meant to be fed, most times left to graze on their own. Generally they are not slaughtered at an early stage but there's no age restriction as well. Lastly animals are not to be slaughtered in front of other animals / witnessed by other animals.

I've seen how Intensive farms operate.. it's fkin disgusting and just awful. The only other option I have besides halal/kosher is going to an actual local farm buying a cow and having it slaughtered in a halal manner, then butchered and packed. The farm I've gone to is very humane in their animal husbandry. You can actually visit these farms and see for yourself the treatment of their animals, then decide if that's where you'd like to purchase your animal from. It is true, there's local farmers that do treat their animals humanely. I've seen it in NE Oregon, Northern California, and Michigan. And of course deer/elk hunting.
