TIL about "Swill milk" where cows were fed distillery waste causing cow teeth rot and disease. It was also adulterated with raw eggs, burn sugar, etc. Swill milk lead to over 8,000 infant's deaths (en.wikipedia.org)

I'm glad that nowadays we mistreat animals and let them live horrific lives in their own waste in a way that doesn't kill human babies specifically.

Thank vegans for that. Progress.

But that breeds diseases like avian flu and swine flu that will eventually kill loads of humans when they become human transmissible. It's all just a bit delayed this time.
