I'm really getting tired of scientists and fear-mongers wanting us to hate on the birds who have the mis-chance to have to migrate through Asia. <sarcasm> I'm sure all humanity will much safer when every migrating duck is safely exterminated.</sarcasm>

They issue the same warning year after year after year. You know, it gets old.

We seem to have very effective safeguards in the U.S. for fighting the spread of poultry disease. The USDA is not shy to de-populate millions of birds when they feel it is needed -- and even sometimes when some of us might feel they are going overboard. There comes a point where you have to assume that good people are on the job and there is no point living life in fear.
