I live on a lake and there are lots of geese around. I hope bird flu gets under wraps.

I think the concept is about finding birds with immunity for a vaccine.

Over 100 million animals are used in research and testingcjust in the us each year. Not counting mice, rats, fish and birds whichcare not always included in USDA reports.

I personally dont see an issue if it saves human lives, though I abhor any animal suffering.

I think chicken is going to become as expensive as veal. I feel this administration isn’t happy at just hurting people. They want to destroy everything and everyone. I don’t know how they are going to discover anything being they keep cutting out inspectors and scientists. So I call bullshit on this. This whole administration doesn’t believe in science.

@KNOWITALL Thats not how you find vaccines. We have a vaccine for bird flu in humans already but Americans dont like vaccines so its a moot point. I’d also be interested as to where you got the 100 million animals are used in research figure from. The reported is figure is 23–24 million with less than 1 million not rats, mice, birds or fish.

@Lightlyseared Saying Americans don’t like vaccines is a sweeping generalization. There are anti-vax factions but many Americans do get vaccinated.
