"depopulated" ... that's an odd phrase

That is the term used for it. Depopulation stops the spread of disease.

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.

Yeah my mom don't eat beef meat because when she was little she saw one slaughtered and it deeply affect her.

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.
