OK. This bird flu thing. Should we be worried.....

That they are transporting these birds 160 miles to be disposed of?

I think they call the poo 'poultry manure' and use it as fertilizer. You can buy some in your local garden centre.

No, you shouldnt worry.

Well, except for the fact that your Christmas dinners will probably be more pricey this year That is if you still want turkey with all the trimmings.........

Poo of infected birds is bad though isn't it?

What is horrifying too is the sheer number of turkeys that must have been kept together in one shed - non wonder they get ill.

I think that the virus has a very limited life in the poo of infected birds and the poo is treated in some way before being sold as fertiliser.

BSE, foot and mouth and this are all excellent examples of the ultimate stupidity of intensive farming imo.
