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?
i'm not surprised either but i don't know why :|
maybe im not surprised because special treatment provided for the The Man has screwed over the population.. maybe i'm slightly surprised that this "screw-up" is a serious medical issue!

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