The bottom of this article at the link will explain the official response to the question I have seen asked on this forum. As well as the governments plans to kill birds dont worry you will be "compensated"

i read the article what a stink there will be if they compose the dead birds in one of those chicken houses with 1000's of birds. The bird flu is scary but i wonder just how it should be handled. Rannie

That makes NO sense to me! If they can still carry it then why would it be used that closely? ---"Vaccines could be used in flocks surrounding the area of an outbreak, he said." Maybe I just don't get it....to me, surrounding the area would be close/near and if the birds can still carry the disease then that doesn't make any sense. I have a headache now. :baby04:

Dont try to figure any of it out the result will only be frustration and a headache just take some meds like all the rest of the good sheeple and relax your gubermint knows what is best for you. LOL

If it is being carrried by wild birds, how is killing thousands or millions of farm animals going to stop its spread?

I dont get it.

...its a problem because many of the outbreaks around the world are linked to movement of domestic poultry....both legal and illegal........
