Basically Indian farmers are being sold ridiculous amounts of "last resort" antibiotics under the guise of being "growth promoting" to their chickens in order to turn more profit. No international regulations to prevent it from spreading through exports.
For the unaware... overuse of antibiotics runs the risk of super-resistant bacterial problems becoming a massive problem. We're almost out of effective antibiotics already, this is an extremely worrying trend.
