Weak Strain Of Bird Flu Found At Sun Valley Farm.
Japanese quails suffering from a low pathogenic strain of bird flu were discovered in a Sun Valley quail farm.
The bureau’s veterinarian determined many of the birds had a variety of diseases, fast-moving respiratory ailments, infections, injuries and
lesions. Most disturbing was the diagnosis of a low pathogenic strain of avian influenza among the quails, which had been raised and kept at the
facility.

First let me say that the conditions that these birds lived is deplorable. The intent was for human consumption and this alone raises many questions
to the sanitation of our food supply and the regulations that are supposedly imposed.
Secondly, this also brings to light that this virus isn't far off. Although it's being reported it's a low pathogenic form it doesn't outline
which of the strains the birds are carrying. Most likely it isn't the H5N1.
However, I think this raises the question of what is actually making it into our country and ultimately to our tables.
