Last week, the USDA confirmed that turkeys from two different Butterball poultry
facilities are stricken with the avian flu strain H5N2.
According
to the LA
Times, the USDA confirmed one case of 40,000 infected turkeys on an
Arkansas farm on Wednesday, and another, on a farm in Missouri, on Sunday. All
infected birds will be killed.

convictions of workers for animal cruelty.

Concerned
consumers can avoid contaminated poultry and help prevent cruelty to birds by
ditching animal products in favor of healthy and humane plant-based
alternatives.
