LOS ANGELES county CA under bird quarantine :(

I feel like the CDFA/USDA sat around too long twiddling their thumbs instead of actually doing anything about the problem. There also should have been a larger effort to educate people about virulent Newcastle’s disease instead of just killing healthy birds in an inhumane manner.
If you know that when CDFA agents come knocking that they will kill your birds in brutal fashion will you just hand them over? What if they would kill dogs this way would people be criticized for hiding their dogs?

I think someone is pretty realistic in their theory. Many cities in CA CHOOSE to be sanctuary cities and if you decide that, well then you reap the rewards of that decision. How is anyone being insensitive by pointing out the facts? If the theory is that a sick bird was brought in from Mexico then it stands to reason the rest is true.

Keyword is theory. Nothing but wild assumptions.

Someone needs some sensitivity training.

I just telephoned my hospital trying to get enrolled in medicare approved sensitivity training, they said they are out of funds because Los Angeles County is spending those dollars on a medicaid program for the undocumented.

I read on the internet that the hospital here is going to consider a eugenics program for the medicare sensitivity applicants. They referenced a sterilization program instituted by our government prior to WWII in the Brush Mountain area of Virginia.

Wild assumptions

Logical lines of thinking don't make sense to some people I suppose

No, as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it was spread at shows...you know, another word for exhibition.

Right. But they were all suspended last year.

I suppose it feels better to have someone to blame instead of the disease being spread inadvertently by a song bird, a worker or whatever. It’s better to put a face on it so everyone can jump on the bandwagon. Still no proof. Not “most likely” or “probably” or any other theory. The climate is so similar in Southern California and Mexico along with many people going back and forth for many different reasons any of which could have brought the disease.
Seems like a witch hunt to me but go ahead it’s pretty entertaining.

unintended consequence?

If you clicked on the link I posted (#996) on Appalachian History you will find that the sterilization program was a result on a belief in evolution.

I just learned, after reading it again that, the program lasted 52 years through both Democrat and Republican administrations.
