In 2020, the world saw how fast a virus can upend lives and supply chains. Now bird flu is raising fresh alarms across the United States. In just one month, two cases were detected in a dairy cattle herd. That may sound small, but bird flu has allegedly been rare in livestock, making this spread deeply concerning for animals, farmers, and food security.
At least 1.25 million birds in the U.S. have already been impacted, according to the USDA. When outbreaks are found, hundreds or even thousands of birds are often culled to stop the virus. Experts now warn that risks to cattle could widen the damage. This system harms animals, threatens the food supply, and exposes the weaknesses of intensive animal agriculture. A funded vaccine could reduce suffering and prevent future crises.
The United States has the resources to act. Lawmakers must choose prevention over panic. Sign the petition now to urge the USDA to fund a bird flu vaccine. Sign the petition now to protect animals, public health, and the food system.
