if bernard mathews farm was struck with this asian bird disease would his products be flutiful?

Answer 1

And to incinerate the dead chickens it will need Burn-Hard Matt-flues.

OK we bother better not give up the day jobs.

Answer 2

I'm afraid its not funny any more. This could be as big as Foot & Mouth, plus the threat to human public health.

Strange that this has happened when there are no migrating species about. Does anyone else suspect the Animal Right terrorists or other political extremists might have had a hand in this? Bernard Mathews is the most prominent turkey farmer in the country. And Turkey farming is probably the most intensive form of "agribusiness". Of course these turkeys were due on our tables at Easter so this would be the optimum time to sabotage them.

Answer 3

From the BBC News web site:

The virus is not thought to be able to pass easily from human to human at present.

A spokesman for Bernard Matthews, which runs the farm in Holton, said none of the affected birds had entered the food chain and there was no risk to public health.

Answer 4

It's been going on for generations, the outcome is always a compromise and most workers will take the rest of the year to get the money back from not being paid to be on strike. In this day and age with immigrants only too happy to work for lower pay I think they are foolish especially in semi unskilled jobs like Turkey Pluckers. Next it will be Xmas tree growers I think

Answer 5

This is gonna be one real serious problem here, since the Bird Flu is transmittable to insects and other animals and can live in grain as well...
