Re: fluparanoia? it's all about protecting big money?

"xinixx" <jandenhollander@xxxxxxxxx> expounded:

HILMAR, Calif. - Tom Silva's chickens pump out 1.4 million eggs a day,
but his operation looks more like a prison than a farm.

To reach his hen houses, an intruder would have to scale eight-foot
fences topped by razor wire, then sneak past surveillance cameras.

"Biosecurity" is the buzzword du jour at chicken, turkey and egg
operations across the country. A bird flu pandemic sweeping through
flocks in Southeast Asia and beyond has spurred American commercial
farmers to tighten their defenses.

They wouldn't have these problems if they weren't so damned big,
commercialized, and inhumane in their business practices.

Buy local eggs from local farmers and put these bozos out of business
- you can be damned sure they're trying to put all the little guys out
with the NAIS garbage!

Sorry for the rant.....
