ok it just been on the bbc news that bird flu was imported in infected poultry.
this to me makes even less believable how do you feel?
firstly we was told bird flu is passed bird to bird, or human to bird/bird to human.
so far there have been no human cases.
dead turkey imported from hugary didnt go around and visit there english cousins in a turkey farm in norfolk.
i dont think they feed birds turkey meat do they?
why would the farmer need to buy turkey meat? surely he'd buy or use his own.
i cannot see a possible reason for bird flu to get from imported meat to turkeys. can anybody help? |

It was obviously put into the turkey feed by some government spook. If a wild bird had the infection it would be dead and incapable of flying anywhere. Don't believe a word the government is telling us.
The same thing happened with the foot and mouth disease. A great way to get thousands of small farmers to go bust opening up the market for agri-business. Also the police got valuable training in closing down sections of the country. |

Having been vegan for over a quarter of century, I have studied farming habits of such businesses, Bernard Matthews being a particularly unpleasant establishment.
What you must understand is that not all meat marketed under the BM banner is produced here in the UK. In many cases this is true of a lot of items in the food chain, in fact depending on seasonal fluctuations, a fair profit can be made by importing cheap food products from abroad as opposed to farming/growing them here.
See here;
'Bernard Matthews, Europe's largest turkey producer which has had 160,000 birds destroyed after an outbreak in Britain, has acknowledged shipping 38 tonnes of partially processed turkey meat from Hungary per week.'
This was mainly for associated products like turkey burgers and breaded items. So in a way, the meat did kind of 'visit'. The thinking is that although the processing plant and battery sheds are some considerable distance apart - the virus somehow jumped the divide.

ok that makes more sense now, but how the birds came into contact with it is something we will have to listen for i suppose in the coming days. if they explain that is. |
