Mercy for Animals' Managing Director AJ Albrecht updates us on the state of the Avian Influenza crisis and the tens of millions of factory farmed birds who have been inhumanely killed/suffocated in an attempt to stop the spread (largely at U.S. taxpayer expense); she outlines a joint lawsuit Mercy for Animals filed against the USDA for their inadequate response to this massive outbreak, and she discusses the legal settlement. Additionally, bird flu isn't limited to birds, and it is spreading globally across wild and domesticated animal species, including mammals, but is especially problematic in spreading among the intensive confinement of egg laying hens in battery cages or chickens crammed in warehouses, making industrial animal agriculture a recurring problem for spreading zoonotic diseases. In this 25-minute radio podcast, host Carrie Freeman interviews AJ Albrecht, licensed attorney and Managing Director at the nonprofit Mercy for Animals, as she outlines the problems and the solutions.
