Horace: This may be one of those cultural things that doesn't translate correctly? Your message says that the government is going to kill 1.2 million birds tommorrow. If you literally mean chickens, you are talking about the white feathered birds used for eggs and for eating. As I recall, the chickens have become infected with some virus, very similar to the disease that caused the British Government to kill a lot of cattle a few years ago. Granted, this is not good news if you happen to be a chicken. But, I would feel safe in saying Tyson Foods in Arkansas, (largest U.S. producer of chicken), probably goes through a million chickens a week on a regular basis. Just their contract to supply McDonald's with the chicken McNuggets is probably worth 300,000 a week alone. Doug
