Swine Flu in Birds

Imagine this: swine flu spreads to turkeys and different strains of the flu mix together to create one super virus that threatens the human race. This isn’t science fiction, but a major concern of the United Nations. Swine flu was recently discovered in turkeys on farms in Chile and the UN fears that poultry farms the world over could also become infected. The discovery was made last week and the birds have since been quarantined instead of killed but will eventually be slaughtered for food as they have been deemed safe to eat once they recover.
