Isn't it the case that viruses need live organisms to survive? In which case the transportation of dead battery hens would seem to have no bearing on the spread of something like Avian Flu?Marie said:If battery-poultry was not reared in such appalling conditions of overcrowding, repeatedly dosed with antibiotics and after slaughter transported in often less than optimal conditions over vast distances there would be no danger of 'pandemic'!
Because they use the machinery their host cells produce, viruses are difficult to kill.

There's nothing a government likes more than an electorate that's worried about something that isn't going to happen. It gives them a chance to spend time working on a plan that will never be tested, all the while noone is asking serious questions about real issues.
Heaven forbid any serious questions should be asked of the government in the run up to the FF Ard Fheis.

However the information, approach and inferrences from the 60 human deaths is not in my view 'scientific'.
The thing is Marie 40 million died in 1918 long before antibiotics played a part in Avian flu. The only thing that stopped it then was because because it ran out of people.Marie said:If battery-poultry was not reared in such appalling conditions of overcrowding, repeatedly dosed with antibiotics and after slaughter transported in often less than optimal conditions over vast distances there would be no danger of 'pandemic'! It amazes me these 'experts' keep referring to migrating wild birds which "might" (for God's saaaaaaaaaaaaake!) bring this to these islands from the Urals! Evidence-based science?
