"Nature is so full of beautiful things, not just medicines, but also animals that use those medicines and can teach us a lot. So it's kind of also a call to say, well, let's look at animals and actually benefit from them."

Over 3 million hens in one flock lost to avian influenza The latest cases of avian flu reported by APHIS include turkeys and ducks in Indiana and layers in Ohio.

A question I hear asked a lot is, How can bird flu be having such a dramatic impact? Here's part of the answer: The farms where eggs are produced are massively dense — millions of birds on a property. Thus millions lost or culled at once if the flu arrives. www.wattagnet.com/poultry-meat...

Opinion | Bird Flu in Dairy Cows Is a Slow-Motion Disaster for Public Health (Gift Article) The country’s poor public health response to the outbreak is rooted in the inability to bring in dairy farmers as partners.

A few people have kindly lobbed this into the tl, but here's my own gift link:
Me, in NYT Opinion, arguing we're not failing to handle H5N1 flu in cattle because the response is based on plans for bird flu in poultry and doesn't match dairy farming structures.
