Cripes. It's the equivalent of various departments of conservation
felling trees near paths "just in case" they fall on a bushwalker. Or
(closer to my experience) dam builders overengineering "just in case"
there's a 1 in 1000 year flood.

Message from *Howard King:*
Dr. WHO - This has to be one of the worst misrepresentations of the
truth I
have read in a long chalk no mention of poultry notice - and the
following
statement is beyond belief. World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)
director-general Dr Bernard Vallat said the organisation was putting
together a record of all species of migratory birds, the diseases they
may
be carrying and countries they are travelling to.
