The Earth has been crying out for quite some time, about the damage to our environment and the loss of balance. Humans are not separate from what has been happening to our planet. The consequences are coming out in the open.

So sad for these poor animals 💔

Animals shouldn’t be kept like this. For any reason.

Woulda been nice if the FDA, USDA, CDC or NIH had told us about this...

Is there a spreadsheet of all the outbreaks and culls by country and by date? @picardonhealth.bsky.social @avisfavaro.bsky.social @markhollandlib.bsky.social

It’s getting more & more dangerous as it mutates. Fortunately, we’ve got our top scientific team working hard to save our lives. Oh, wait… never mind, we’re doomed.

Bird genocide

alaskagal.bsky.social•25 days ago

💔 & of course the felon of the United States (fotus) doesn't have a handle on anything regarding bird flu or America's health. #Fail.

Thank you for helping us know what is going on.

Factory farming's close quarters allow spread of disease more easily, and it's inhumane and cruel.

When the birds fall from the sky. Where have I read that?

Poor ducks 😭

a-blueberry-cake.bsky.social•26 days ago

Honestly i feel more sorry for the the farm animals that are still alive than the ones that happen to get euthanised, as those are not suffering no more.

dumbbeezie.bsky.social•26 days ago

All of them they know something horrible has happened

US epidemic happening - birds, pets, and people! Federal government where are you? CDC?

ginaellis.bsky.social•26 days ago

but trump's sparkly new press sec blames Biden for egg shortage and sez trump will stop all this pesky regulation stuff and the unsettling news stories about "bird flu" and get things rolling again. Also: LA residents can go back and muck about in the contaminated debris of their burned-out houses
