It seems like there's a simpler explanation.

Global temperatures have been increasing.

It would make sense that when a species senses "good times" it would want to breed faster and as soon as possible.   Higher temperatures mean shorter growing seasons, more food, less need for insulating energy.  ..over all a better time to procreate and spread.

I hope the role of growth hormones by the beef and dairy industry is more fully explored in the future. The good news is that Starbucks recently banned milk from factory farms that use recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbgh).
