Guest SouthernCelt Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Weak Strain Of Bird Flu Found At Sun Valley Farm (CBS) SUN VALLEY Japanese quails suffering from a low pathogenic strain of bird flu were discovered in a Sun Valley quail farm. The Bureau of Humane Law Enforcement, a non-governmental, nonprofit organization devoted to defending animals, began investigating conditions at the now-defunct L.A. Quail Farm earlier this year. The agency served a warrant at the farm and discovered the quails living in unsanitary conditions with a multitude of illnesses. All the animals were seized on Nov. 12 and were tested. The bureau’s veterinarian determined many of the birds had a variety of diseases, fast-moving respiratory ailments, infections, injuries and lesions. Most disturbing was the diagnosis of a low pathogenic strain of avian influenza among the quails, which had been raised and kept at the facility. The birds had been raised for human consumption.
