There were no serious injuries.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations mandates that drivers be able to read and understand the English language.

Tests performed by labs have confirmed that the turkey’s at the farm in Virginia did have the bird flu, but the evidence showed that the flu is not being passed around, authorities stated.

The turkeys, who caught the virus, did not pose a risk to humans. HOWEVER, as a precautionary measure, all 54,000 turkeys(!!!!!!!!!!) that were living on the farm in Virginia were slaughtered.

naturally, the area surrounding the farm is still being resurveyed over and over to make sure that there is no traced of the virus, but so far all tests have shown nothing.

I think its awful to kill animals, but becuz we consume them, i deal with it. But when 54000 animals are killed becuz a couple were mildly ill… this disturbs me greatly
