| Re: Is bird flu still a threat?
Mr Mag00'' we have had cases of bird flu in Dorset in the past month''
That's interesting. Were all the birds slaughtered? I can't even remember seeing a news report on TV. Not long ago experts were predicting more than 2million Americans would die and Europe would suffer a similar fate. The media attention was so great that I considered culling my small flock of chickens to do my bit.
I was raised on a farm for the first 17 years of my life and it was not uncommon to see a chicken with what my father described as 'chicken flu', the bird either recovered or died, but he certainly didn't cull the whole flock.
Maybe why the experts and the media are so quiet now is because they got it terribly wrong for whatever reason. |
