Pandemic: Bird Flu and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases"

Leading public health authorities now predict as inevitable a
pandemic of influenza, triggered by bird flu and expected to
lead to millions of deaths around the globe. The influenza virus
has existed for millions of years as an innocuous intestinal
virus of wild ducks. What turned a harmless waterborne duck
virus into a killer? In an engaging multimedia presentation, Dr.
Michael Greger traces the human role in the evolution of this
virus. In the face of the coming pandemic, Dr. Greger reveals
what we can do to protect our families and what human society to
can do to reduce the likelihood of such potential catastrophes
in the future.

New Online Report about Rabbit Meat Cruelty

Despite being one of the most popular companion animals in the
country, rabbits are among the most exploited. Domestic rabbits –
cherished for their playful, gentle natures – are skinned for
their fur, blinded to test cosmetics, bred for show, drugged in
the name of science, clipped for wool products, pulled out of
magicians’ hats, killed in vivisection labs, sold as food for pet
snakes, and raised and shipped by breeders motivated only by
profit. To add insult to all this injury, we chop off their paws
and tout the rabbit’s foot as a “good luck” charm.
