Well we did hear about this a couple of months ago that some birds were getting sick...
Then the government killed a bunch of birds. If a farm had a sick bird, you had to kill them all.
On the heels of the White House scary Halloween commercial about having a scary Thanksgiving if you don't get your booster. No turkey for you....
It's all bullshit. Life means nothing to the rule makers. If they could get away with it they would be like China and go around murdering people's dogs over made up causes and in fact they wish they could do the same thing to the most inconvenient 'animals' of all, which would be us.
