As California reels from devastating wildfires exacerbated by climate change, another threat grows… Bird Flu. The New York Times warns that the possibility of a pandemic is “no longer remote.” At the core of these calamities? Industrialized animal agriculture, accelerating climate change and raising the risk of pandemics by exploiting animals in the food system through systemic overcrowding and cruelty.

UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell moderates.
