From the CDC:
Quote:
The spread of avian influenza viruses from one ill person to another has been reported very rarely, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person.

I last saw a show about this 2 weeks ago. It claimed person to person transmission hasn't happened yet, bird to person transmission has only killed about 50 people in the last decade, and even after it starts transmitting person to person it should be a very long time before it transmits rapidly enough to be a problem. There is some small chance of the right mutation for it to be a person to person catastrophe happening tomorrow but the odds against are astronomical.
OTOH, if anyone wants to put down on a missile silo and stock it with acid count me in

so far this has been the only proposed solution from any and all governments about bird flu
http://www.executivegourmetcatering.com/images/pics/LEMONED_CHICKEN_a.jpg
something is greatly wrong with the world...bird flu so far hasn't even affected humans yet we go around mass executing birds.
if a human catches it to we execute them?
also in nature when you catch something over time you build up an immune to it...by killing these birds they don't get the chance to do this...therefore we are helping this virus become stronger....and ruining the chance for any birds to become immune and live on.
its like using pesticides on insects...the ones that don't die become stronger. except in the case of birdflu we are killing the ones that could live from it too!

Human's HAVE caught it. People have contracted it and died from it over in Asia, Europre and I think Africa.

we over population comes hunger, and with that comes food shortages...what if they want these birds to die? think about how much food these birds eat off farms....you know how many birds have died from pesticides? 67 million. what if a gov. somewhere somehow engeneered this flu to wipe out birds?
almost every month you hear about another animal put on endangered list...there is a reason for this..earth can now only support one thing, humans. anything that isn't human doesn't belong here in our eyes, we value ourselfs greater than anything. yet its these animals and other wild life that make it possible for us to live and without them we wouldn't be here today....if its not a slave animal who's sole purpose is for food...theres no point in having it around.

If your wacky conspiracy theory was even remotely true, we wouldn't devote organizations and so many of our resources to save endangered species like insects, bears, types of whales, frogs, etc. I've been watching lots of National Geographic movies regarding these things lately

them so called efferts have only taken a few animals off the endangered list while 1000's are put on it. but its very clear these birds lives hold no meaning to anybody when it comes to killing them because there sick. there's animal lovers out there but i mean...nothing is going to stop this.
