This is an aside, but if you actually believe we evolved from monkeys, you apparently have not done the math on the DNA mutations upon which the whole naturalistic evolution theory is based. Physicists who know math and can better calculate the probabilities are far less vocal as proponents of the theory. Biologists, who are less advanced in math, tend to be the more vocal ones. As seems true in many areas of life, those who know the least are often the most confident and vocal.Humans have evolved little since we were monkeys...
As for the culling of the birds, it seems plain that we are past 1984 after all. The government seeks to control the populace through fear tactics, as the world's collective experience of the past couple of years attests.
