Bird Flu Crisis in Australia: Egg Shortages & Soaring Prices
Australia is facing yet another bird flu outbreak, leading to the culling of over 2.1 million innocent hens.
But beyond rising egg prices and supermarket shortages, this crisis exposes deeper issues within the egg industry—animal suffering, disease risks, and unsustainable practices.
The Ethical Toll of Culling Birds
One of the most distressing consequences of this outbreak is the mass killing of birds. In Australia, flocks are culled using carbon dioxide gas, which can take up to 20 minutes to ensure death, or water-based foam, causing asphyxiation.
These culls not only highlight the ethical dilemmas of using animals for food but also expose the high disease risks of animal agriculture. Such outbreaks demonstrate how industrial farming conditions can create environments where diseases spread rapidly, affecting both animal and human health.
The Solution? A Better Way Forward
Plant-based alternatives offer an ethical, sustainable, and health-conscious solution.
Healthier & Safer: Unlike eggs, which are high in cholesterol, many plant-based alternatives provide protein without the saturated fats and cholesterol linked to heart disease. They also eliminate the risk of salmonella and antibiotic residues found in intensively farmed poultry.
Prevent Future Outbreaks: Choose plant-based egg alternatives. With egg-free options gaining popularity, now is the perfect time to make the switch to vegan living, to protect our health, safeguard animals, and promote a more sustainable future.

You think vegans are annoying?
Imagine if vegans' lifestyle caused pandemics one after another.

Dit is de eierindustrie. Niks happy chickens. Macerated = wasted away, vermorzeld of vergast. You’ve been lied to.
