End Bird Flu Pandemic Threat - Cull Industrialized Poultry Farming

When the natural system sees that there is an overpopulation of any species - birds in particular - it "creates" a situation that allows killer viruses to mutate and re-balance the system by killing birds. Creating in this case means that birds are stressed and in close quarters both conditions facilitated/trigger an outbreak of a virus - and the result is a system that re-balances itself by reducing the number of animals in a confined space.



Culling the birds stops the immediate outbreak but continued industrialized breeding starts up the virus cycle again. Raising fewer birds and in less confined space reduces the outbreaks. Additionally, cleaning out urine and feces often and putting it in digesters that can kill all viruses, produce methane gas for energy production, and clean fertilizer. Another by-product? Fewer outbreaks of the "normal" flu which all start from an interaction between people, poultry, and pigs.
