    "The store is linked to the two recently confirmed positive premises..." Fines! That's the only thing that gets a businessman's attention. Take the profit out and they will stop.

    The worker said exactly what I would have said or I would have ignored her. I guess that makes me "rude."

    Hard to send very many if there are only three or four as is the limit in many places. And many people wouldn't think much of killing a pet with a cough.

    Poultry veterinary medicine is based upon care for commercial houses, because that's who pays the vets. Only recently has poultry been considered valuable enough for a vet to try and save it as they would a parrot. The way that works is a worker hears a cough in the house and six or 12 birds...

    According to the epidemiologists, weather changes negatively affects Newcastle, so changing temperatures in the egg house may be beneficial. But I think that only reduces the spread of the disease, not curing or even suppressing the disease in infected birds.

    Throwing money at research might help. It hasn't helped much to stop citrus "greening" a bacterial infection, but it has pointed out that citrus was bred for more productive trees that are less resistant to disease. So some research is going into old rootstock, others are saying gene splicing...

    Then you know more than the epidemiologists. And when all else fails, drastic action is necessary. My wife would surely have preferred not to have that amputation, but it saved her life.

    Until the human race can come up with a better and cheaper way you might want to make suggestions rather than complaints. My wife had an amputation to stop one. I'll make a suggestion now. There are vaccinations for the various Newcastle diseases and maybe for the exotic/virulent strain. It's...

    Yes, the Mexican government declared itself VND free. US not so much. Pick your poison.

    In this case, not just corporate profit. There isn't much point in growing oranges in Florida any more because of the greening for which there is no cure despite tens of millions being spent. And if this disease is allowed to become endemic, there won't be much point in having BYC because it...

    I quoted it. Another word for endemic is common.

    No matter how well or poorly the job is done, there will be people complaining about it, because people don't want the government messing with their stuff.

    Actually, I do. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5659000/ "Virulent strains of NDV are endemic in Mexico,"

    Not exactly... I think that the Mexicans are just living with it. So if 2,000, 000 birds catch it, que sera sera. Hatch another 2,000,000 and carry on. There's no immunity there, just resilience.

    I too, am outside the zone, but have seen a similar thing happen with citrus canker in Florida. People were going crazy about orange trees. Lawsuits and the whole nine yards. Commercial growers licked their wounds and replanted, but the backyard tree owners went nutz. In the end, it didn't...

    Boy, do I agree with that. Also that illegal alien chickens are not being imported from Mexico, which also makes all these people's loss for naught.

    I don't doubt that three miles is arbitrary. We live with arbitrary numbers all the time. Who says 90 is an "A"? Why not 23? From what I read, this is a fairly uncommon disease that has been treated in the past by 3 mile eradication which has made it uncommon. There is no treatment and no cure...

    I think the word you are looking for is "improper." Unlawful means that a legislative body has passed a law saying that an improper act is against the law. Now we can argue about whether tests are so accurate that they can be used with surgical precision to remove diseased birds while leaving...
