This is OLD... 2005. But didn't see it before.
Don't run from your past, learn from it!

(edited cut from the article...)

The quarantine system designed to stem the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza is anything but watertight,

Byung-gyu Lim, a quarantine official with the Gyeonggi provincial government, said the chickens were transferred while awaiting inspection results from the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service after around 10,000 chickens died of respiratory and central nervous problems since Dec. 21, two days before the transport of the chickens from Chonan. He said South Chungcheong Povince and the Chonan city government are investigating how 5,000 chickens were permitted outside the area under such conditions.

Unlike bird flu, Newcastle disease is not communicated to human beings, yet infected birds are under transport ban and must be culled immediately.

 

 Oooops, I’m sure that won’t happen again!!
