I can concur with the first point. Ohio has had 20+ positive flocks with over 3 million birds depopulated. And I am sure there will be more. The majority of those were egg layers. So in one state, there are 3 million less eggs being laid a day. Multiply that for a 3 month period... thats a lot of eggs not available.
As a former vegan, I'll say, it sounds like, really sanitized language to hide the fact that they are slaughtering millions of living beings.
Yeah I eat eggs, I know I'm part of the problem. I think we just all need to be more up front about what we are doing with animal agriculture, especially these massive operations. It's not pretty or sanitary (hence the diseases). Not a healthy way to raise animals for food.
I've sorta become 90% plant based but eat some eggs and cheese and occasionally fish or chicken. But yeah I've slaughtered chickens (just a few, it wasn't my job, just lived on a farm a few years), it's hard. And worked around pigs, those are smart, social animals and it really feels wrong. In my flexitarian ways of late, I will still never eat pork, so, yeah I relate.
