Guest Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The title of the topic is incorrect. Suffolk is in the East of England. If we're talking about media inacurracies etc, *we* could at least get the location of the outbreak right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Its south as far as Sheffield is concerned....ok and a bit to the east...but definitely nearer to the equator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're quite right grd - it was bugging me as well - I've changed it for you Now - if you can find time to come and complain, perhaps you can come back and join in properly?

The Dogmother Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Although I am usually the first to slap the media down, there was a good article in the Mail yesterday (page 11) by Geoffrey Lean (unfortunately not posted on their website), which blamed the spread of H5N1 on battery and intensive broiler farming and the crowded environment they have, which encourages the spread of disease. Too right that man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The BHWT have suspended all rescues! Good to take precautions though I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Phil tell me that on the news last night, they were filming at farms inside the exclusion zone, and the farmers still had their chooks out freeranging as no-one had been round to tell them otherwise DEFRA muppets! But you'd think that the farmers would've at least had the sense to get their chooks inside Makes a mokery of the whole thing really, doesn't it?
