Gabz, you expressed a concern about the impact of Bird Flu on poultry farmers and the industry in general, doesn't look good.
Thanks for the ping, Blam. Gives me a chance to vent:
"H5N1 has killed more than 100 people since 2003 - mostly in Asia."
Wow. 100 people died world-wide out of 6 Billion+ in three years' time. It's an epidemic of Biblical proportions, I tell ya! The sea should be turning to blood any day now. Expect a plague of locusts & frogs. I'd seriously like to know who and what is behind all of this hype. It HAS to tie in with the NAIS people. It has to!
The MSM is totally over-reacting to this, but that doesn't mean they don't want to take down the world-wide poultry industry for whatever reason. Maybe Oprah's behind it? Look what she did to the beef producers in America a few years back...and she's just one woman! Guess chicken chit causes Global Warming now. "Algore? Please pick up the white Courtesy Phone in the Lobby!"

The decreases in the EU don't surprise me in the least. here on DelMarVa exports have dropped drastically, especially to Russia..........and we don't have bird flu here yet.
Where it has shown up, the demand for poultry has dropped far below the supply.
