An animal gets sick, you isolate it, you don't f**king kill it. There was no mention of euthanasia to prevent suffering, only to prevent the spread. Even if they felt it was an airborn virus, they could have moved birds around. This is a pathetic and sad situation.

Yeah I am sure they do not like it either. It sucks Yarak

[glow=purple,2,300]Wait, I must of missed why they euthanized birds that didn't have any problems. To prevent spreading? That makes no since, why not isolated them, as we do with horses, or get them to where they are no longer infectious to other animals. Did I read that correctly? That the end product was that innocent birds were killed due to a nutcase, who now knows more about mycoplas.... (big word, I forgot how to spell it). Did they ever read anybodies elses research on the matter before they started thier own? [/glow]
Never settle.

That is the most immature, f*cking moronic move I've ever heard of. Poultry test. My God what next. Soon they will be saying that the cause of Aids is do to the raptors to so maybe we should just kill all of em.

Just goes to show nobodys perfect. They have done ALOT of really good science from there. I am sure they feel like real horses ass. SH!@t happens, it was unfortunate but the birds did not suffer. I know of falconers who have had their birds die from poor husbandry like starvation. That cannot be a pleasant death. Yarak

Do you mind If I join in on this one...........About 5 years ago a Woman arrived at my house driving a car with a couple of kids in the back and walked down the path with a grocery box....She told me that she had found a baby eagle on the side of the road.....Which automatically told me that she had most probably hit a Kestrel with her car,had emptied out her shopping from the box and brought it to me............. Anyway...Inside was a beautiful Russet fronted Musket with one wing ever so slightly dropped.I gave him the once over and deduced that there was a small wound on the wing and the poor thing was starving. I fed him up and put him in a darkened box overnight.... If anyone can guess.....for a bit of fun.....What happened when I opened the box the next day,I,ll send you over an English Five Pound note..... Allan WHC.U.K.
did it latch to your face? those little bastards are fiesty!!!!

No,thats not the answer Noel.......But I know from bitter experience with my imprint male Gos what it feels like.I passed him on to another Falconer....

He jumped to the fist or He began begging food He flew out of the box He cast He sliced on you
How many guesses do we get? I really need that 5 pound note ;D Yarak

No one is going to guess....So I,ll tell you. I opened the box and was horrified to see the little Musket had torn off the feathers and skin off the wing right down to the bone.... I took him straight to Raptor Rescue,who I work for Hacking back,and got him fitted with an Elizbethian Collar.The Vet cleaned up the wound and we started again... Unfortuneatley the little Chap managed to get the collar off,tear off more of his wing and didn,t make it......But we tried our best.
Damn...that was my next guess too..... . I have heard several accounts of self mutliation from birds of prey. One guy had a Peregrine that ate it's toe off......
