Indonesia's Plan Guarantees Spread of Bird Flu

This would be funny if not for the potential dire consequences. 1. Tell small chicken farmers that they have to hand over all their chickens to the government. 2. Small chicken farmers start hiding chickens. Then, if they are successful, by gathering thousands of chickens together, they increase the chances of spreading bird flu because they have created conditions that favor it's spread. Someone should check if these government officials have an investment with funeral directors or whoever will profit from such a disaster!
