According to Keiji Fukuda, assistant director-general for health
security at the World Health Organization (WHO), the new bird flu
strain that has already killed more than 22 people in China is "one
of the most lethal" of its kind and transmits more easily to humans
than another strain that has killed hundreds since 2003. This new
strain, H7N9, is particularly problematic because of the absence of
visible illness in poultry.

Nature has a way of reacting when we do things against it.
Confining God’s animals, not allowing them to exercise their
God-given instincts and needs, feeding them unnatural diets to make
them grow faster and fatter or to produce more milk/eggs, mutilating
them without anesthesia, giving them drugs so they can survive these
conditions, abusing them to our benefit, etc. may be the cause for
the new emergence of viral and bacterial strains since factory farms
are the perfect vessels to combine, rotate and mutate viruses and
bacteria. Once again, we reap what we sow; and these consequences
might just be what makes us stop consuming these creatures or their
by-products.
