For allowing Bird Flu to infect his farms? He is well known for not keeping his animals in good conditions. I think this time he should be hauled up infront of a judge and sent to jail. What do you think?

All those racist jokes. I think they should think about it. The fat git's act is a turkey anyway.

I don't think its his fault about the bird flu
but i cant understand how he`s been allowed to continue poultry farming since he`s been on so many documentary`s about the conditions in which his birds are kept
also how is workers treat the birds
I haven`t bought any of his products since the documentary`s
Neither has my close family

I can't believe how naive you are.
Do you think anyone gives a damn for animal welfare in this country. Of course these turkeys are kept in appalling conditions and I saw a shocking article in a national newspaper last year where Bernard Matthews' employees were filmed hitting turkeys with baseball bats.
Nothing ever happens though. People are far to keen to keep eating meat products so quite simply they just turn a blind eye.

I think you'll find that his farms are some of the best kept and maintained, and even if they weren't, the bird flu wouldn't just "happen" there - it came from somewhere else, probably via a wild bird crapping over the farm as it flew by.
I laughed when I saw (above) that somebody thinks B.M. is a fat comedian. That's Bernard MANNING dear ! ! !

I would rather starve than buy any of Bernard Matthew's products. He has been in the news several times over the years because of cruelty to animals and lack of hygiene. As far as I am concerned, this is a judgement from above and he deserves everything that is coming to him.

Yes I think that to and his business should be shut down. I remember seeing on the news about the condition and treatment of the turkeys. It was appalling and cruel. The conditions were awful and the people there were abusing the turkeys. It doesn't surprise me that an outbreak has started there. I never buy any of they're products.

if a stray animal came into your household and gave your animals some infection and you cannot find the owner should you be prosecuted.no i don't know a lot about the cleanliness of the farm/factory where these birds were kept but surly someone could have whistle blowed if any thing major was wrong.

You trying to convict the guy before he's had a chance to defend himself? My understanding of the law in England is that someone is innocent until proven guilty. Matthews has not been, and will not be, charged with any offence.
Your best route is to boycott all factory farmed produce, such as his turkeys or Scottish salmon.

Regardless of the bird flu thing, I think he should be prosecuted anyway, for:
A) Having the most stupid catchphrase for a manufacturer ever.
B) Feeding a nation chopped up turkey "bits" in the guise of food.
Eeeuuuuurgh...His companys products are revolting.

Very strange that these Norfolk turkeys are born, raised and killed in sterile conditions and they have bird flu....was it a contamination plot?????

I am sure that if the vets currently on site find that laws were broken than the company will be taken to court.
