The U.S. Department of agriculture says that 58 million commercial birds have been wiped out since last February. The reason is the worst outbreak of Avian Flu in U.S. history. 40 million egg-laying hens have been culled causing the price to skyrocket. The virus can knock out poultry farms for months. It seems I have to do an illustration about this kind of thing on a monthly basis now. I always end by writing the same thing. Maybe it’s time to stop eating animal products. Might help fix the situation. Easy to say, hard to do. I get it.
