Things I will not apologize for as a veterinarian: I will not apologize for criticizing the private equity takeover of veterinary medicine. I will not apologize for exposing corporate crimes against animals.

I drive by this facility about once a month, and every time I see something horrible. We've filed complaints with Kern County Animal Services regarding animal welfare concerns and with the water board regarding bodies being dumped. So far, nothing has changed.

I'm so disturbed that we don't have better resources and a safety net for humans and animals. I did my best to respond to this tragic story. Let me know if you think I should have said anything better or different for this story. #onehealth #accesstocare #publichealth #animalwelfare #animalrights

The night I got back from the Reducetarian Summit, I immediately took to the FM airwaves (90.1 KPFT) to spill all the tea. ☕ Tune in to hear my unfiltered thoughts on “reducetarianism,” and what it all means for the animal movement. 🎧 Listen here → www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFWx...

This administration can sure use someone like you, asking the questions that need to be answered for ensuring biosafety. But, as you know, it's not going to happen because they are already full of bull....

📉 2.9 million dogs entered U.S. shelters & rescues last year. 🐶 29% were puppies. ✂️ Dogs arriving already spayed/neutered fell from 33.2% in 2019 ➡️ 22.3% in 2023. 🏥 In 2019, 212 high-volume clinics performed 1,217,240 spay/neuter surgeries nationwide (cats + dogs).

“Life eats life”—but does it have to? Advances in precision fermentation now allow us to produce the same proteins found in cow’s milk—without the cow. These animal-free dairy products replicate the taste, texture, and nutrition of cow-based milk. Subscribe to watch All Beings Considered LIVE on YT!

The animal-based protein corporations, feed crop corporations and pharmaceutical industry want to prevent business innovation and deny consumers the choice to consume protein produced in alignment with their values. #onehealth #vetmed #veterinarian #h5n1 #animalwelfare #avma2025

Should the American Veterinary Medical Association Guidelines protect consumer confidence in animal-based protein and the industry’s social license to operate? Or should they protect the interests of animals, public health, & food security?

What do you think our government should be incentivizing with public funds? Corporate interests or the interests of everyone (no matter their species.) #spayneuter #vetmed #veterinarian #vetstudent #onehealth #vetschool #animalwelfare #animalrights #humanrights #ice

We were investigating bird flu outbreaks in the Central Valley of California when this worker told us we could not photograph private property. Then the conversation took a turn… How would you handle this situation? #h5n1 #onehealth #vetmed #animalwelfare #animalrighys youtu.be/5XfD0b1dGn0?...

This spay/neuter recovery video got 250k+ views and 25k likes. Most popular comment? “Doing paperwork on top of them feels disrespectful 😂” Meanwhile… Rodeo. The Kentucky Derby. Cat declawing. Modern intensive animal-based protein production. What counts as “disrespect” to animals is wild.

New footage I captured inside NYC poultry markets reveals open doors, no masks, no biosecurity — while bird flu spreads. There have been 22 outbreaks in Queens markets since February. Huge thanks to @bbcscience.bsky.social for covering. www.sciencefocus.com/news/bird-fl... #onehealth #h5n1

As the H5N1 bird flu virus mutates and rapidly spreads through American cattle herds — a first for the U.S. — doctors and veterinarians are fearful that if the virus is left unchecked, it could spiral into a possible pandemic. https://cbsn.ws/4ionCJG

Veterinarian Dr. Kay Russo told 60 Minutes that the U.S. is running out of time to stop bird flu. https://cbsn.ws/4cKau0s

Several weeks ago, @60minutes.bsky.social contacted me after seeing my photos of H5N1-infected cows. “You seem to be one of the few people talking about this,” they said. I’m grateful they used my footage for this piece. youtu.be/ame91llKsyc?... #vetmed #avianflu #onehealth #animalrights

Your 401k is tanking, but guess who’s thriving? Cal-Maine Foods—the nation’s largest egg producer—got $44 million of your tax dollars after losing birds to disease. They’re also raking in record profits and their stock price is soaring thanks to higher egg prices. Do you get a cut of that?

Can we provide free veterinary care for all animals? Imagine walking into a veterinary clinic with your sick dog or injured cat and not worrying about how to afford the bill. It turns out that we might be able to make this a reality. Here's how... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dJV...

A new cow influenza seropositivity study just dropped, and we have to talk about it. Some key points: "The NP ELISA results showed that 586 out of 1,724 samples (33.99%), representing 23 cattle breeds and 10 states were IAV seropositive." #onehealth #h5n1 #avianinfluenza youtu.be/K74zBIG1LwQ

Lately, I've been thinking about which species would be infected next. During my observations in the California Central Valley, I couldn't help but notice several herds with deceased sheep alarmingly close to large poultry and dairy facilities.

Why is the response to the avian flu outbreak so controversial? And what happened when I dared to question it? I just dropped a video breaking down: 🧬 The science 📉 The cover-ups ⚠️ The retaliation I faced Let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzmP... #h5n1 #onehealth #nomv

Real cute day today.

There is a reason you only hear about the price of eggs and not the bailout money or Cal-Maine's stock price. The Cargills and pharma execs need you to keep feeding chickens and supporting egg subsidies so they can buy another yacht. #onehealth #h5n1 #birdflu #vetmed #animalrights #vegan

Should we exterminate wild birds to stop the spread of avian influenza? In this short presentation, I attempt to answer that question. Let me know what you think! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVI5...

Dr. @crystalheathdvm.bsky.social was just profiled in Le Monde for exposing the hidden dangers of H5N1. In Kern County, she saw unprotected workers handling dead animals without masks or goggles—despite the virus’s risks to human health. It’s time to demand real change. #BirdFlu #PublicHealth
