Mexico Kills 8 Million Chickens To Contain H7N3 Virus
An anonymous reader writes "Mexico has so far slaughtered eight million chickens and vaccinated 66 million more in an effort to contain a bird flu outbreak in the west of the country, officials said Tuesday. The country's agriculture ministry had identified the diseased chickens during the vaccination process in the Los Altos region of Jalisco state, which led to the destruction of the H7N3-carrying birds."

These scapegoat crimes against chickens have to stop!
Some human child gets the sniffles? It was the chickens! Those evil chickens did it!
The pigs become contaminted with flu? Those dirty chickens are surley to blame!
First they came for the chickens, and nobody spoke out.
Then they came for the swine, and I said nothing.
Then they blamed the geese and waterfowl..
And then they blamed me for going on an international flight with a runny nose, and nobody was left to defend me!
When will this madness end!? Stop blaming the poor chickens!
Won't somebody think of the poor chickens!?

This is supposed to be news for nerds, not news for geeks.
Unless they killed them with a particle accelerator or calculated the right number of chickens to vaccinate with a Beowulf cluster of Raspberry Pis, not interested.
