Bird Flu !!!

After mad cow disease which had a serious affect on the economy of European and Fareast countries now we see another uncontrollable epidemic which is spreading all over the world and is called Bird Flu.
Up to now less than 100 people were killed out of it and if the governments don't manage hard restrictions for local birds it can even become more dangerous.
We have a relative who like chickens alot and every time take care of some of them but not in a wide area, as it should be, but in her house roof!!! Of course it's not healthy but they don't have enough room for chickens so she is doing it.
Yesterday she phoned and she was crying. She said one of the neighbors had come and warned her if she doesn't kill the birds she will call the health center and now she was getting depressed. From her point of view it was hard to get rid of those lovely birds but due to the new condition there isn't any other way out. I talked her and tried to convince her doing it, she admitted she should do it, but at the end I was thinking why we turned our lives so difficult which even we can't turn back to the past.
