can we just stop with crisis after crisis for fuck sake…
This is an inevitable consequence of factory farming that isn’t factored into the cost of it to our society. As long as this unsustainable form of agriculture is practiced, it will spawn constant epidemics we are not equipped to deal with. Simple as.
In other news the sky is blue. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised by this , if your ramming antibiotics into livestock non stop , when they urinate and defecate , some of the antibiotics are still present and that goes into the environment where bacteria encounter it and become resistant.
This is the sort of thing that will end us as a species
This is our number one reason to reduce consumption of animal products. You can disagree with all the reasons to be vegan as much as you like but this one’s coming for us humans, whether or not the animals are dead or alive.
WHO have stated one of the biggest risks to humans is anti biotic resistance, mainly driven by consuming animal produce which has had antibiotics pumped in yet u jabronis still insist on eating animals. We can add anti biotic resistance to the list of things animal agriculture has caused alongside every fucking pandemic that’s happened in the past 50 years.
people bleating about factory farms – why don’t you offer solution (don’t tell me vegan and beyond meat- first is a lifestyle and second is factory produced with tons of chemicals whose long term effect on humans we don’t understand fully!)
Oh wow look a real life example of why runoff is fucking terrifying
Gosh. If anyone finds my surprised face, can you please wave it vaguely at this story.
Yeah, because they pump farm animals full of antibiotics 24/7 because it’s cheaper than actually taking care of them.
Vegans will have the last laugh and I’m all for it.
Intensive animal agriculture needs to end if we want to stand a chance of tackling climate change, let alone the increased threat of a post-antibiotic era. Animal agriculture only makes future pandemics more likely and the rising demand from developing countries accelerates that risk even further. It’s a backwards industry with no real positives, however tradition means it will be a long time before we even consider abolishing it. Any meaningful action will come too late and the damage will be done long before the public can be convinced that animal agriculture is not a necessity.
