Following news that yet another bird flu outbreak is sweeping the nation and nearly 2 million chickens have been killed by Texas-based egg seller Cal-Maine Foods Inc., PETA is hitting cities across the country with a multipronged campaign:

~ warning of the dangers of continuing to eat meat, eggs, and dairy from animals confined to filthy, severely crowded sheds or feedlots, and

~ encouraging people to take the simple and obvious step of going vegan.

PETA is talking with ad companies about placing a stark, sky-high warning near Cal-Maine’s Texas operation and in major cities across the country, reminding everyone that farms, feedlots, and slaughterhouses are breeding grounds for a host of deadly pathogens that can easily mutate and spread to humans.

PETA supporters took action in the Lone Star State yesterday by flocking to Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, where they gave away dozens of delicious vegan hard-boiled WunderEggs and dished out free vegan starter kits with tips and recipes for eating vegan.
