There we go again. We should expect to see more of these things. Many closely related animals confined in a small space, with humans around, is not a good recipe.

"Given the presence of bird flu on the premises, all 1.8 million birds need to be culled, aka "depopulated." "

Can you picture 1.8 million birds? Now picture them all being gassed. Now, I'm not vegan but that's grim.

"Workers are tasked with placing the birds in the chambers, which only hold a few dozen birds at a time. In all, the method requires workers to have a high degree of contact with the infected birds, going from bird to bird and batch to batch with the carts."

What a great idea.
