    China should be quarantined from the rest of the world. This is their more humane treatment of chickens and they don't treat their own citizens with much more respect. Their eyes look crazed!

    It's little wonder they are always getting diseases from animals.

    Well over 98% of the experts agree, and it may be almost 100% by now, but as you said, I am not an expert on the subject. I go with the majority.

    And since you're no expert either, we'll call it a draw.

    And I love your snowflake angle. It's cute, but a bit too on the nose.

    I've seen similar here in the US.

    This photo could have been taken anywhere, and from the close crop, I would say they are on a truck.

    Yes, even free range chickens have to get transported. You expect to give them an address and just show up at the plant on their own?

    This is a wake up call to the world. China has to be put on notice. And the world hopefully has learned they can’t rely on oppressive govts who lie cheat and steal in business and horribly abuse their people and put the world at risk.

    You can't actually buy KFC stock directly, it's a subsidiary of YUM - which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

    Although I DO own stock in YUM!, you DO realize I was making a joke about cooked chicken being bird-flu free, right?

    No sh*t, that's why I asked the question. "My stock in KFC" was just stupid.

    Deflection. KFC does not trade as a stock.

    Will you do the same to Queensland Australia because of Lyssa and Hendra viruses?

    Is it a modern day occurrence like China propping out Sars(2004) and now these incidences? We clearly cannot trust the Chinese to exercise proper hygiene of their own. Unless in a pandemic, then they give a damn.

    They are to blame whether they fabricate them or just allow them to spread because they cover it up and execute the people who try to bring it to the world's attention.

    Chances are the Australian government won't do their best to execute anyone who tries to let the world know about it. Just turning a regional problem into a worldwide pandemic. Plus they probably won't be too proud to ask for help and get it.

    The Chinese government operates a lot differently.

    Its awkward because I thought you would have figured I was referring (and it was understood) to mean communists, leftist humans, etc was actually the point.
