DENVER (KDVR) — Chicken, egg and turkey prices could continue to soar at the grocery store as poultry producers brace for an unprecedented outbreak of avian flu.
“This is a virus that naturally circulates in our wild bird population. We see it all the time,” Colorado’s state veterinarian, Dr. Maggie Baldwin, said.
“We have had a lot of wildlife mortality, more than any other highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak we’ve seen in history. This one is impacting wildlife more,” Baldwin said.
HPAI had never been seen before in Colorado until April 2022.
“This particular strain, H5N1, is of significant concern because it…
Former President Donald Trump has joined a chorus of conservative voices who have shared baseless conspiracy theories about the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.
During an appearance on theChris Stigall radio showthat aired Tuesday morning in Philadelphia, Trump called the attack a “sad situation” but questioned if there was more to the story being detailed by law enforcement.
“Wow, it’s — weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks. Probably, you and I are better off not talking about it. The glass it seems was broken from the inside to the out so…
From Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, to flooding in eastern Kentucky and a record dry summer as the western US entered its 22nd year of a once-in-a-millennium megadrought, the US has already seenmore than two dozenmajor climate disasters with losses exceeding $1bn (£864m).
On top of this economic toll, extreme weather is also upending the food system in the US and much of the world. As the climate crisis causes temperatures to rise, precipitation patterns to shift and drought conditions to lengthen, many crops are struggling to grow – and produce the same yields – as they would under normal weather conditions. In some parts…
When they arrived, the family of Ronald Lopez, 63 told deputies it was not unusual for Lopez to hunt for the entire day, but it was out of character for him not to return to camp by dark.
VPSO Deputies, agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, United States Forestry Service Personnel, and volunteers initiated a foot search of the area.
They were assisted by VPSO Blood hound Bo, the sheriff’s office said.
Idaho Falls Posted: Oct 29, 2022, 6:45 pm | Updated: Oct 30, 2022, 12:31 am Michael Faller, 73, of Idaho Falls | Courtesy photo IDAHO FALLS – The body of an Idaho Falls man who’s been missing since Oct. 19 was found Saturday. Ashley Countryman, a spokeswoman for the family of Michael Faller, confirms to EastIdahoNews.com the 73-year-old man is dead. She didn’t have any other information. RELATED | No sign of Idaho Falls hunter missing for more than a week Faller went camping with his wife in the North Creek Road area of Butte County on Monday, Oct. 17, according to Countryman. Faller went hunting and checked in with his wife at lunchtime on Oct. 17 and 18. But he did not return to his campsite to check in on Oct. 19.
She’s been charged with misdemeanor animal cruelty, this according to the Flathead County Sheriff.
The 36-year-old hunter may have sealed her fate by bragging about her kill on social media … “So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear however I got the opportunity to take another predator wolf pup 2022 was a great feeling to text my man and say I just smoked a wolf pup #firstworld #onelesspredatorMT.”

The attack on Paul Pelosi was terrifying. A man broke into the house of the 82-year-old husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the middle of the night and hit him with a hammer. Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull among other injuries. The intruder shouted, “where’s Nancy?”
Donald Trump Jr. appears to thinks it’s funny.
Late Sunday night, Trump Jr. shared an image on social media of a hammer and a pair of underwear with the words “Got my Paul Pelosi Halloween costume ready.” Trump Jr. wrote: “The Internet remains undefeated.” (Sidebar: I’m not going to share a link to Trump Jr.’s post. You can find it on the internet if you so choose.)
Which, even by the low standards set by the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, is egregiously bad. But, unfortunately, not unexpected.
Trump Jr., even more so than his famous father, has reveled in the idea that he is the king of the deplorables – someone willing to say and do things that other people want to but are too afraid. Trump Jr.’s MO has always been – as it likely will be for this incident – that he is just joking, and that people need to stop taking themselves so seriously. He’s the cool guy who doesn’t ever get offended while the rest of us are the squares who are forever on outrage watch.
But stop and consider what Trump Jr. is mocking here. An elderly man was violently attacked in his own home. He was injured badly enough that he had to undergo surgery. The intruder who attacked him seemed to also be after the speaker of the House. The man alleged of attacking Pelosi had also shared a variety of conspiracy theories – about the 2020 election and Covid-19, among other things – on social media.

The only right thing to do in this situation is a) condemn the act and b) see what can be done to put better safeguards in place in hopes of keeping this from happening again.
Instead, what Trump Jr. did is make light of it.
That he did so, again, shouldn’t be all that surprising. Trump Jr.’s social media presence is a super-charged version of his father’s – if you can believe that. What’s so depressing is that Trump Jr.’s post on Truth Social has more than 5,000 likes and more than 1,000 shares as of this writing. He also shared the post on Twitter and Instagram.
Which means that not only will he likely refuse to apologize for his disgusting post, he will revel in it – convinced that his mission of freaking out the woke mob has been accomplished.

We are in a very dark place when content like this is championed by people in positions of power. It normalizes aberrant behavior by making light of it. And the result is that such incidents become more and more likely in the future.

Swedish climate activistGreta Thunberghas said she will skip next month’s Cop27 talks in Egypt, criticising the global summit as a forum for “greenwashing”.
“I’m not going toCop27for many reasons, but the space for civil society this year is extremely limited,” she said during a question and answer at the launch of her latest book at London’s Southbank Centre.

The collection of research and technology transfer programs known as the “Green Revolution,” sometimes known as the “Third Agricultural Revolution,” took place between 1950 and the late 1960s and significantly enhanced agricultural productivity in many regions of the globe.
A founding narrative of the Green Revolution was discovered to be false.
In a recent analysis, a researcher at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT revealed that one of the founding narratives of the Green Revolution, a movement to modernize agriculture through technology that began more than 50 years ago, was untrue.
The Green Revolution is frequently credited for tripling the production of staple crops while only requiring 30% additional cultivated land in the second half of the 20th century. This…
