Gday,
Firstly my apologies to all that, although being a list member for some
time, most times I skim the large volume of email so that I'm not sure
what discussion has gone beforehand regarding the avian flu virus
problem, particularly in relation to migratory birds.
I feel the following may be of interest.
"GRAIN report says global poultry industry is the root of the bird flu
crisis."
See
http://www.grain.org/front/
for the brief story or read the full report:
"Fowl play - The poultry industry's central role in the bird flu
crisis"
at:
http://www.grain.org/go/birdflu
It's encouraging when a group (GRAIN) publishes a self-description in
clear view for visitors:
=============quote==============
GRAIN is an international non-governmental organisation which promotes
the sustainable management and use of agricultural biodiversity based
on people's control over genetic resources and local knowledge.
