  • Vaccinating poultry against avian influenza is currently not allowed in the UK. The government says that strong biosecurity measures and culling are the most effective ways of fighting it. Meanwhile, there are concerns that poultry vaccinations might be linked to the virus evolving.

    But one farmer, who has previously lost 30% of his flock because of bird flu, told the BBC that, without a vaccine, it was only a matter of time before “it all kicks off again”.

    So he’s just mad that he has to cull his product and make less profit. He would happily let the virus mutate and spread if it meant he could continue making money.

    He added that the organisation was a “huge supporter” of vaccination for poultry but recognised there were challenges, including the cost to farmers and the impact on trade with other countries that prohibit imports from producers that vaccinate.

    Lmao he wants to put the publics health at risk and he wants them to pay for it.

    Sorry I have little sympathy for meat farmers. Literally making money off of animal cruelty and are typically selfish motherfuckers.
