It's all unfair until you realize that most epidemics start with sick farm animals that come in contact with humans.
What do you think farmers do? Do you think they don't hire outside hands for cheap labor to come into contact with the animals? This lady was more safe in entering farm spaces and the handling of the chickens than any farm worker that would have otherwise come into contact with them. She follows very specific procedures to ensure disease doesn't spread. They have a section in an investivigation manual on biosecurity & PPE you can read here: https://media.dxe.io/wl/?id=22ONdgUDbuBaOD7tHcqKEJQcNkLGaFtA
Bird Flu can cull an entire shed in 3-4 days. Bird flu is now in dairy cows. It's in cats. It doesn't stop with birds anymore. If you are worried about epidemics you should discourage eating chickens, turkeys, ducks, cows (& their milk/butter/cheese). Stop normalizing these CAFO operations. Focusing on animal activists is exactly what a bunch of chud billionare animal abusers want you to do.
Don't they wait out the animals sickness?
If they don't, that's another reason to support cultivated meat.
It's high time to do away with this primitive and barbaric way of food acquisition.
And who is forcing workers to be in close contact with animals? 🙄
