In an in-depth story about bird flu killing elephant seals, the NY Times makes no mention of the origin of the virus. When wild birds transmit a mild strain of the virus to domesticated birds in factory farms, the virus spreads quickly among the crowded animals and mutates into strains that are deadly and spill back into wild animals. The public needs to know that humans created this infectious disease by intensively confining animals.
