Bird Flu.(something of interest?)

No need to worry. If I'm not mistaken they found a cure?

^^^ I think you're mistaken, since when? There is still no effective vaccine [effective = Proven beyond doubt].

What is funny is that it is 1980 all over again. Let's not forget the AIDS Pandemic.

They always have the vaccine...way before the flu itself.

Sunny,

Come and get your teriyaki H5N1 pandemic on a stick! =(

Ever heard of animal suffering?
evidently not.
Hey, if this means that people will stop mistreating chickens (because alot of farms do while they're raising them) then that's the bright side of bird-flu.

Actually Sunny, Truest Lies has a point. I believe her point is that of battery hens. It's only in recent years that we've seen a return to free range chickens in this country, I can't speak for the states, but it's still a small percentage compared to factory raised hens; and yes governments are to blame. But, a great many farmers are not first timers, they've been in the business for generations, unfortunately financial return plays a major role in this.
Factory farming has produced cjd for example, by feeding livestock animal waste... so what's to say that factory farming chickens hasn't produced or helped to produce this mutated disease that is apparently threatening our shores?
There's nothing romantic about farming, but the wholesale misusage of animals has to stop, and I speak as an omnivore.
love and light
