Illegally imported falcons into Kuwait may have caused the outbreak of bird flu (LINK).

An excerpt from the AFP story:


"Falcons imported into Kuwait may have been the cause of an outbreak of bird flu that has caused authorities to cull two million chickens, MP's charged on Tuesday.

During a special debate a number of lawmakers submitted official documents showing that several falcon shipments for royals and influential people were imported without the strict quarantine procedures."



Why am I not surprised?

Cant we be just a bit reponsible!!!! just a bit, not much to ask...just a little bit.

wish the guys who imported them, would get the bird flu

The people who are responsable for this must pay through the law.
