If you're concerned about the price of eggs going up because flocks are being culled because of bird flu, just wait and see what happens to milk, butter, and cheese when they start culling the dairy herds. Especially with RFKJr in charge of your health. www.npr.org/sections/sho... - ThreadSky

I don’t think they will cull cattle, they haven’t been yet. People’s pets have been dying from drinking unpasteurized milk. It’s a mess.

If they do. Some people in our county farmers Facebook group think it’s a hoax, that “they just want us to live in fear”, and they won’t test their sick animals.

Meat prices are sky high now.

Pasteurization removes bird flu virus. Don't drink raw milk!

The more animals that get sick, the more opportunity for the virus to mutate to a form that it is human transmissible. I have read that it has a 25%-50% mortality rate so this would make COVID look like a picnic in the park.

first birds, & H5N1 begins learning how to cross to other species & changing to H5N9, killing marine mammals, cattle, & guess who's next: Trump's second plague recapitulating Moses's fifth plague in the book Exodus? & RFKjr is going to do what about it?

I fully except a mandate from CDC or HHS to stop culling infected herds and flocks.

So i understand soon KFC and Macdo having no supply of chicken and burgers. So the president favorite meal is not for sale anymore.

Or till a desease with 50% survival rate makes the jump to human-human transfer….

I fear that no agency will be left to monitor the dairy herds.

I think part of this H5N1 virus is money grab. Is anyone seeing carcasses of dead birds all over the place?

The EU vaccinates their poultry.

There is no bird flu in France.
