The biggest piece of this that I'm wondering about is historical context.
I don't know how frequent culls of livestock, and fires at food related plants were before 2022. It's possible that this is an average amount, and is actually nothing to be alarmed about. On the other hand, if there was much much less than this that happened before 2022, this is an alarming pattern the infers a coordinated effort to damage the food supply.
Agreed; that being said with the projected degree of food shortages by the end of the year, much less next year, I'd expect the animal being prematurely killed would still be butchered and preserved in some way if rational adults were in the decision making progress at all. "Oh shit we're gonna be starving next year and gotta kill these chickens to protect the rest of the herd what can we do?? Can the meat and prepare to sell it next year at a premium."
