I just want to shoot any asshole who suggests we should cull wild birds to stop bird flu getting to humans.

Date: 2006-02-20 06:48 am (UTC)You know, I had a few friends who expressed "concern" *cough*ignorance*cough* about my little pet budgies. Seeing as how they were "exotic" surely I was putting my life and the lives of my family and neighbors at risk by letting the birds fly loose around my apartment. Freakin retards. This hype is going too far.

"They're everywhere. Just sit in the shadehouse and watch the birds, they come into the birdbaths. Just a few years ago the first sighting of the Blue & White Flycatcher in Australia was seen there."
"First sighting? wow."
"Yeah, it's a south-east Asian native, must have been caught in a storm or overshot during migration."
"Oh, you know all about THOSE birds. What about flu?"
"Lady, if the bird sneezes on you, then I might get worried."

Date: 2006-02-20 09:01 am (UTC)People are tediously dumb - during the mad cow scare over here beef prices plummeted and a reporter was in a supermarket getting 'opinions' from shoppers on the issue - one woman was piling loads of cheap beef into her trolly.. he asked her if she was concerned about the beef scared - her response was 'oh, yes, I won't let anyone eat beef - I am buying this to freeze until the government tells us it is safe to eat again'......
and what the FREAKING heck is your icon?????? 0.o I think it scares me...
