Bird Flu is Back

Statement on the latest Avian Influenza outbreak from Animal Aid
Statements of shock and dismay will greet the announcement of another
outbreak of avian influenza – this time in Diss, Norfolk. Now is the
time for the public to wake up to the underlying causes of bird flu
and the whole range of devastating diseases afflicting animal farming.
Still on the news agenda are panic measures relating to foot and
mouth, bluetongue and bovine TB. In the background are continuing
worries about salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter and swine fever. The
common theme? The callous mass production and ‘processing’ of millions
of sentient animals.

It is naive to imagine that we can incarcerate animals inside crowded,
filthy factory farms without them suffering a high level of infectious
diseases. Turkeys are kept, from days after birth, in windowless sheds
– thousands packed together, standing in their own filth. Many will
die during the brief growing cycle, rotting where they fall. These
animals never see the light of day or smell fresh air but are deprived
of everything that makes life tolerable. Disease, broken bones and
heart attacks are commonplace. Incredibly, poultry is still promoted
as a healthy alternative to red meat. The reality is that anyone who
eats the flesh of these unfortunate animals runs the risk of becoming
ill as well.

The BBC reports at 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7092988.stm that

The affected birds were free-range - meaning they had access to the
outdoors and may have been of greater risk of catching the disease.

Basic Trout Fishing Tactics
For those of you who are new to trout fishing I figured I'd write an article 
on some basic trout fishing tactics.
