"Report Warns of Potential US Meat Supply Crisis Leading to Another Pandemic"

A recent report from Harvard Law School and New York University warns that another pandemic-like situation could originate from the United States due to the close contact between humans and animals in the US meat supply. The study highlights the risks of zoonotic diseases from practices in the livestock, wild animal trade, and fur industries, emphasizing the lack of regulation and health checks. Pigs and poultry, raised in large numbers in the US, pose a potential vector for deadly flu outbreaks. While the likelihood of spreading avian diseases to humans in the US is considered extremely rare, researchers argue that loose regulations and frequent interactions increase the risk of a virus or contagious bug leaping from animals to humans, causing a deadly outbreak.
