No need to get hysterical. So what if the now Israel-based avian flu resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poultry in the south of the country? Why should I fret that a few cases were also reported at Kibbutz Nachshon, less than twenty miles away from my humble abode? No need to fear. As long as I don’t rub chicken feces on my body I should be ok. Also, at next week’s cockfight in Ramle, I’ll be sure to wear gloves and a mask and keep Fightin’ Leroy’s ass away from my face.
The EU has is currently banning poultry imports from Israel. Now that’s one boycott of Israel that I can throw all my support behind. At this time we need to support Israel’s poultry industry. I assume more damage is going to be done by the public abstaining from poultry than the avian holocaust that is occurring right now. I’ve done my part. A large vat of chicken soup was made on Friday and chicken is on the menu for tonight.
