Those poor chicken farmers are having a tough time with this Bird Flu. Regardless of exactly how the Flu got into circulation, it’s in the mix now.
I have a rather grim, even morbid question for those with livestock farming knowledge.
#1..What does one do when you have a million chickens who catch the virus and suddenly become very sick?
#2..Are the birds placed under a huge tarp and then gassed?
#3..What happens with the Flu contaminated carcasses?
They can’t really be sold. Burying would take time, effort and valuable land out of use. Seems that the easiest solution would be to have a large incinerator on premises.
That is a business risk of any Chicken Ranch, but having to kill that many of anything all at once, is likely to be traumatic for some people. Perhaps. I wouldn’t really know.
Maybe such a Farmer accepts the event as necessary, and simply moves on.
It’s just more propaganda to try and do same crap again. It’s not necessary to kill all chickens (in fact I read somewhere that could make it worse) they’re intentionally culling food supply to raise prices and panic. Farms all over where I live- everyone is perfectly fine including the chickens.
I was listening to a talk show yesterday that was discussing the Ohio poultry situation. They had some health experts and someone from the poultry association on. While they discussed the destruction of the flocks, they didn’t discuss the how. I was thinking mass grave? Incineration? Or even being sold to the Colonel. (Most exhibit no signs of the disease.)
