PSA: chicken sales

[ARCman47]

If you’re a grower in the poultry industry it’s a life of indentured servitude, barely better than the terrible life of the birds.

Yet people still line up to build houses and grow..

I work for a poultry company. Please keep all these people in your thoughts and prayers. The infected farm was in the edge of Elbert co. If this **** cannot be contained it will potentially cripple GAs biggest industry. Since you seem to "know" about poultry operations and conditions tell me about it. What do you call the "overuse" of antibiotics?? A company is in business to make money, therefore they would in most cases treat sickly birds with an antibiotic. Just as you would go to the doctor when you're sick and get medicine. Whats shady about some in the industry, are the ones that market "organic" **** and you're paying 5x the price. "Yard chickens" and game birds are an issue because they're out in the open, exposed. So when wild birds or waterfowl transmit a disease to them, that's where cases start to happen.

Are you saying that individual sick birds are identified and treated? Not all of the birds?

Yet people still line up to build houses and grow.

Yeah, people with few other options.

No
Maybe someone with a small group yard chickens.

That was his point. Mass treating birds with antibiotics, sick or not. That’s how you create resistant bacteria and viruses. The birds are coming home to roost, so to speak.

Who? With few options?

You would treat a a house, as if not spreading something to the others. Treatment is not something that is a day in and day out thing all the time.

What? Are you already day drinking?

What? Are you already day drinking?

You cram a bunch of animals into confinement, some get sick, they are all give a broad spectrum antibiotic and this cycle continues thousands of times for decades. That’s how you create resistant bacteria and viruses. If that sounds like the rant of a day drinker, you may want to look into the mirror.

How do you think penicillin’s efficacy was discovered? Here’s a hint, look at the inverse.
