12/5 Special Lecture & Book Signing - " Surviving the Next

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.
