PETA statement: avian flu outbreak in Nepal

Below, please find a statement from PETA Asia President Jason Baker in response to reports of an avian flu outbreak in Nepal and the culling of 11,000 chickens:

Red flags should be raised worldwide as avian flu spreads among poultry farms in Nepal, but this news comes as no surprise to anyone who has seen the filth and cruelty rife within the meat industry. Tens of thousands of chickens are now being culled to curb the outbreak, yet the cruel and dangerous ticking time bomb remains: thousands, or even millions, of birds are crammed into overcrowded, waste-filled sheds and then sent to filthy slaughterhouses.

 

Tofu never caused a pandemic, and PETA urges everyone to go vegan before it’s too late.
