Bird Flu outbreak in western Canada

My post just disappeared and now I have to do it again.

Yeah well.....

Every species I encounter, I am struck by how much more intelligent they are than we previously thought. Humans not so much.

Human encounters leave me wondering how we have managed to survive as a species. I am constantly amazed at how dumb we are. Present company not included in this observation

As you say we are not connecting the dots. We cram huge numbers of birds in unhygienic conditions and then we wonder why the epidemic spreads so fast. I wonder why it has spread so slow.

Sadly many birds will be killed, but these birds were living horrible lives and just this once they will be killed humanely.
The more sad thing will be if the farmers rebuilt things the way they were.

They are supposed to get government compensation. Good luck with that. We know how quickly governments operate.

In the mean time all of lower mainland B.C. is under restrictions. That is a huge farming area.
