Why Texas Has Declared a State of Emergency Over New World Screwworms

🚨 Texas has declared a statewide emergency after officials confirmed new cases of the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated from the United States decades ago. In this video, we examine the latest screwworm cases discovered in Texas, why Governor Greg Abbott expanded the disaster declaration statewide, and what the situation means for cattle producers, horse owners, veterinarians, wildlife managers, and the broader agricultural industry. The New World screwworm (*Cochliomyia hominivorax*) is not an ordinary parasite. Unlike most fly larvae, screwworm larvae feed on living tissue, creating severe wounds that can threaten livestock, horses, wildlife, pets, and even humans. After more than 60 years without a domestic outbreak, the parasite's return has sparked serious concern among animal health officials. Topics covered in this video: ✅ New screwworm cases confirmed in Texas ✅ Why Texas declared a statewide emergency ✅ What the New World screwworm is ✅ How screwworm infestations affect horses and cattle ✅ Risks to ranchers, horse owners, and veterinarians ✅ The sterile insect technique used to combat outbreaks ✅ What happens if the parasite spreads further north ✅ The economic impact on the livestock industry ✅ How to identify possible screwworm infections If you own horses, cattle, goats, sheep, or other livestock, this is a situation worth watching closely. What do you think? Can Texas contain the screwworm before it becomes established, or could this become a larger agricultural crisis?

Amazon Under Fire: The Hidden Trade Killing Millions of Donkeys Every Year

What is Ejiao, and why are animal welfare organizations calling on Amazon to stop selling it? Ejiao is a traditional Chinese medicine product made from donkey-hide gelatin. While it has been used for centuries, growing global demand has created a controversial international trade that animal welfare groups say is contributing to the slaughter of millions of donkeys every year. In this video, we explore the global Ejiao industry, the concerns raised by veterinarians and animal welfare experts, and the campaign urging Amazon to remove Ejiao products from its marketplace. We also examine how the donkey skin trade affects vulnerable communities that depend on donkeys for transportation, agriculture, water collection, and economic survival. Organizations including Brooke Action for Working Horses and Donkeys argue that the rapid expansion of the Ejiao market has created serious welfare concerns for both animals and people. As awareness grows, consumers, lawmakers, and corporations are being asked difficult questions about transparency, supply chains, and ethical responsibility. 🔹 What is Ejiao? 🔹 How is donkey-hide gelatin produced? 🔹 Why are millions of donkeys being affected? 🔹 What role does Amazon play in the controversy? 🔹 How are communities impacted when donkey populations decline? 🔹 Should online marketplaces sell products linked to controversial supply chains? Whether you support the campaign or are simply learning about the issue for the first time, this video provides important context about one of the world's most overlooked animal welfare debates.

USEF Issues Urgent Warning-Flesh-Eating New World Screwworm Reaches Texas

🚨 New World Screwworm has reached Texas, and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is warning horse owners to stay vigilant. In this video, we explain what New World Screwworm is, how this flesh-eating parasite affects horses and other animals, why officials are taking the recent Texas case so seriously, and what the USEF recommends horse owners do to protect their horses. The recent confirmation of a New World Screwworm case in a Texas calf has prompted quarantine measures, increased surveillance, and renewed concerns among veterinarians, livestock producers, and equestrians. While New World Screwworm was eradicated from the United States decades ago, its gradual spread northward through Mexico has raised concerns that the parasite could once again become a threat to American livestock and horses. We discuss the history of New World Screwworm eradication, the sterile fly program that successfully eliminated the parasite from the United States, the new quarantine zones in Texas, and the signs horse owners should watch for in wounds and surgical sites.
