Bird flu 2022: a disaster of epic proportions

Bird flu is back, and is claiming the lives of millions of birds around the planet. In this @SentientMedia piece, we explain what bird flu is, why it maters, and whether or not it will cause the next big human pandemic.

Ur content is great, I’m shocked how small your channel is. Keep up the great work! I hope that you can reach out to as many people as possible.

I produced this video in partnership with one of my favorite nonprofits, Sentient Media, a journalism organization that seeks to create transparency around the use of animals in our daily lives. They are one of my go-to sources to learn about animal issues, and if you enjoy my content, I think their articles will bring you a lot of value.

If you are interested, here are a few articles they've published on bird flu:

Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Please continue making content. We need more people like you on youtube!

Wow, just now finding your YouTube channel after knowing you for so many years. I knew it would be good, it's top shelf! Subbed! Sharing!

We need more videos from you Ryuji. You are a great speaker.

Excellent video. It is so important to raise awareness about this. The mass killing of animals in the case of swine flu or bird flu is the most horrible and immoral thing I have ever seen. It breaks my soul. The number of animals that died after a slow suffocation or overheat... it's just complete madness.

Thanks for your work

If only everyone in this country could or would see this video. Most people I know would refuse to watch it though because they don’t want to know the truth about factory farming 😢

[thebowandbullet]

I've been really loving your documentary-style videos lately (this and the one on fish pain, recently). Top quality, engaging and interesting. 💯👌💚

I saw an article talking about how ppl shouldn’t feed birds because it can help the bird flu spread and mutate. The article also said something like “bird feeders near poultry farms could be a risk to livestock.” Now, I’m not the biggest fan of feeding wildlife in general, but BRUH. When I tell u I LAUGHED SO MF HARD- Ah yes of course the bird feeders are the real risk of disease spreading to chickens, not the fact that thousands of chickens are living in a crowded shed in their own feces and urine. I mean the only LoGiCaL risk of viruses is the backyard bird feeders.

This vid is incredible and lord knows how you found all this out I’m still trying to figure out how u don’t have at least one million subs !!!

Thank you for your hard work Ryuji! Your videos are truly enlightening and I hope they catch the attention of lots of people. This world needs to change, and you're doing your best to contribute to that change. I'll do my part by sharing it with as much people as I can and keep my plant based diet. Thank you again!

I will never understand why do we continue to treat animals as products, when they´re clearly not. We should be respectful of other forms of life, and don´t do to others what we wouldn´t like someone else to do to us.
Thank you for yet another great educational video, and for allowing me to help you spread the information to the Spanish speaking community .

[writerinthedark]

I can never watch these videos without crying. I really wish conditions change soon for all these animals, being vegan is easy and it saves so many lives.

[maddyb]

I thought I was watching Vox omg good editing and quality damn!

[zamin_ali]

But farmers only do these things because they love and care for the animals. It has nothing to do with money, only the well-being of the creatures. Right...

[joshwong]

And they say it's not a holocaust!

[lorah]

👍 #BoycottMeat and all other animal products of cruelty and exploitation in any way possible!

[Shroedinger]

Aaahhh sounds like an excellent opportunity for Dr Fauci …I’m certain he could make it more contagious 🦠 and deadly ☠️
I’ve got faith in him and his track record

Good video! Another reason to be vegan! Greetings
