It’s a common tactic for animal rights extremists to attempt to take advantage of unfortunate situations faced by the animal agriculture community. This includes the devastating spread of avian influenza among poultry flocks right now. Extremist groups are adamantly working to twist the narrative by spreading misinformation that this is a public health concern. Per usual, there’s a lot more to the story than these groups would like you to believe. 

It is true that avian influenza is considered a zoonotic disease, which is any disease or infection that can naturally pass from animal to human. However, what extremist groups often leave out are the many proactive and preemptive measures put in place by the animal agriculture community to limit exposure and spread of disease – to both animals and humans. You can rest assured that the animal agriculture community is working every day to protect your health.
