the United States, Canada, where culling has also occurred to control the spread of disease and virus. (The Washington Times A21) There are approximately 6 billion chickens and 850 million ducks in the Southeast Asia region, where the area accounts for approximately one-quarter of the world's poultry trade. Two countries currently affected by the avian influenza outbreaks, China and Thailand, account for 15% of global poultry shipments. With such massive culling of birds, there has been a devastating
also extremely cruel to the animals on these farms. The American poultry industry kills approximately 8.6 million chickens for meat every year, and another 300 million hens produce eggs (A Closer), and the treatment of these chickens is anything but humane.

Over one hundred million animals every year die from animal testing, in the medical and cosmetic fields alone (“Experiments on Animals: Overview”). Animal testing is as big of a problem today as it has been in the past. Most people do not agree with animal testing today but years ago it was one of the only ways of testing. It was considered, if not the only, effective and efficient ways of testing a product’s toxicity. To date, animal testing is not warranted because of the development of new technology
significant foodborne illness each year. In 2005, it was reported that 1.8 million people died from diarrhoeal diseases (World Health Organization), largely attributed to contaminated food and drinking water. This is not just an undeveloped world problem. About 76 million cases of foodborne diseases, resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5000 deaths, are estimated to occur each year in the United States of America (USA) alone (Mead et al., 1999).
