Looking forward to this circus not being in the news cycle any more. These birds were infected and were a threat to BC and Canada’s ecological and agricultural security and the fact it dragged out this damn long is frustrating.

I feel bad for the birds.

But I should have been feeling that way last fuxking year when they needed to be put down. Those people risked wild and farm birds and human health and safety for months and the outcomes were A: they got lucky and the survivors were not infected or B: shit gets real and those assholes felt they had the right to take that risk for all of us.

This is the drunk driver who made it home saying “it’s fine see nothing happened.”

I’m sure they won’t face appropriate consequences but at least their behaviour wasn’t rewarded any longer.
