It is certainly an unimpressive aggression towards Thai chickens concerning the recent bird flu paranoia. Instead of going back to the ignorant sacrificial solution by slaughtering hundreds of thousands of lovely fowls, Thai Agricultural Ministry should be treating the chickens with antibiotics that our competent veterinarians advise. Viva la medical science. Modern science and international cooperation could assist in curing the ill animals which must be lower than what human intelligence can estimate. In fact poultry businesses in the UK and worldwide have fed antibiotics to the animals since the 1950s to increase the weight of chickens or to rid of bacterial exposure in chicks, while significantly reducing the lifespan of the poor little animals. Industry and pollutions further threaten all lives on this planet with new viruses and cancers.
Now humanity have progressed a bit more: massacre the animals consumed by our collective paranoia, not hunger or capitalist commercialism.
World governments’s ease in abusing the animal rights to life is appalling: (a) the EU and UK enthusiastically burned the possibly mad cows, oops not mad people, (b) Malaysia did bury pigs alive into hellish holes 2 years ago, (c) China culled hudreds of exotic civet cats in fear of the communist government’s probe into delicacy cuisines, and (d) in Burma stray dogs may be poisoned by the city council to please the elites’ eyes. The ministry ought to stop the horrible treatment of our fellow earthlings, two-legged chicken friends, and begin to demonstrate that we are a real developing nation with knowhow and healthcare accessible to all, including chickens.
