Bird Flu - Thailand - Illustrates Why It goes On and On

It's about money honey - always about money. So if you come a culling chickens, I'll be trying to hide mine! That phenomena goes on and on and on. Other methods must be considered to control the spread of bird flu; which could become the next pandemic spring board.

Provincial livestock officials disinfected bird flu-hit Ban Hua Khao, where the chickens died of unknown causes, culled scores more chickens and collected the carcasses for lab tests.



The culling infuriated three poultry owners because the chickens were breeding stock and expensive.



Besides, there had been no official proof of avian flu infection in the fowls, they said.



Despite all efforts to contain bird flu, Sukhothai was hit again as the deadly virus was discovered on a fighting cock farm in Sawankhalok yesterday.
