Fault of Chickens

Millions of chickens are being killed these days because bird flu is spreading in them and a quite high no. of them might not be infected though. I find it bit weird. Why only chickens? Just because humans eat them for satiating their stomach? If they feel that they will also get infected by bird's flu, they should restrain themselves from eating chicken.

It is bird flu, so quite likely that many more types of birds have been infected already and it doesn't bother humans as they don't eat those other birds. If killing all the birds in a region in the wake of a bird flue, is the solution that people follow, how long will it take that some more species become extint from the face of earth? Already many are on the verge of it.

As far as the nature is concerned it takes care of things, if let to work. It will help species develop resistance against disease. I have found occurences of grapes with seed in bunch of seedless black grapes, green grape in a bunch of black grapes. Though many companies have been doing their best to gain control over production of fruits/vegetable by flooding the market and psychology with more yield of seedless varieties. But it is fact that these engineered varieties don't taste as good as the natural ones. I consider it a fortune to have tasted grapes with seed in childhood. Newer generations born and brought up in seedless era won't even know what they are missing, keep aside what will they read about the vegetables and fruits.

Everything evolves, good as well as not-good and evolution of both is necessary for the evolution of each other. Nature will do it's best to do it's work anyway and humans will do their best to not let do it.
