This administration can sure use someone like you, asking the questions that need to be answered for ensuring biosafety.

But, as you know, it's not going to happen because they are already full of bull....

What about the workers? What about nearby poultry facilities? Aerosolized milk particles are everywhere in milking parlors. The recent study showed virus is everywhere on facilities. Dairy production represents a biosecurity threat that is impossible to contain.

No bones about it as star chef sets vegan milestone in French fine dining Celebrated French chef Alain Passard has become the first three Michelin star chef in France to switch to an entirely plant-based menu, opening a new chapter in the world of luxury dining.

Could 1mL of raw, H5N1-infected milk potentially infect 10,000 to 100,000,000 turkeys?

Obviously, these lab titers don’t translate cleanly into real-world transmission because dose, route, strain, host species, and environmental factors all matter...

But still...

So, I'm just thinking out loud here, say raw milk has on the order of 10^4 to 10^9 virus particles per mL, and it takes fewer than 10 virus particles to infect 50% of turkeys—assuming similar strain, lab, and host conditions...

💔 334,000 dogs were euthanized in 2024.

📉 2.9 million dogs entered U.S. shelters & rescues last year.

🐶 29% were puppies.

✂️ Dogs arriving already spayed/neutered fell from 33.2% in 2019 ➡️ 22.3% in 2023.

🏥 In 2019, 212 high-volume clinics performed 1,217,240 spay/neuter surgeries nationwide (cats + dogs).

“Life eats life”—but does it have to?
Advances in precision fermentation now allow us to produce the same proteins found in cow’s milk—without the cow. These animal-free dairy products replicate the taste, texture, and nutrition of cow-based milk.

The animal-based protein corporations, feed crop corporations and pharmaceutical industry want to prevent business innovation and deny consumers the choice to consume protein produced in alignment with their values.

Should the American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines protect consumer confidence in animal-based protein and the industry’s social license to operate? Or should they protect the interests of animals, public health, & food security?

What do you think our government should be incentivizing with public funds? Corporate interests or the interests of everyone (no matter their species.)

YouTube video by Crystal Heath Veterinarian Arrested Documenting the ICE Protests in Los Angeles

I made a video describing what happened during my arrest on Tuesday during the ICE protests in Los Angeles.

I was kettled, detained, and loaded onto a bus with dozens of others — all while trying to document what was happening.

YouTube video by Crystal Heath 📸 Security Tried to Stop Us—But Then This Happened at a $10M Bird Flu Bailout Site

We were investigating bird flu outbreaks in the Central Valley of California when this worker told us we could not photograph private property. Then the conversation took a turn… How would you handle this situation?

I was photographing chickens at a slaughterhouse and a local came up to me to talk. I was not expecting the conversation to take this turn...

Rodeo. The Kentucky Derby. Cat declawing. Modern intensive animal-based protein production.

What counts as “disrespect” to animals is wild.

Videos reveal lax biosecurity in New York poultry markets amid bird flu outbreaks | BBC Science Focus Magazine As bird flu cases mount at inner city poultry markets, footage obtained by BBC Science Focus shows workers and the public exposed without recommended biosecurity measures

New footage I captured inside NYC poultry markets reveals open doors, no masks, no biosecurity — while bird flu spreads.

There have been 22 outbreaks in Queens markets since February.

Huge thanks to @bbcscience.bsky.social for covering.
