"What's this? Cheap beef on your plate verses the luxury of watching the wild birds breed in the Marshes? Due to threaten your chicken dinner, re bird-flu likelyhood of reaching our island shore, who is being vagilant enough to check, 'Duckfeetchinacafe,' has not imported this delicacy for use in its many outlets in Australia, via the black market, there will be neither meat on your plate..Posted by ELIDA, Saturday, 29 April 2006 2:47:20 PM" Quote from myself at

Article mentions the concern for the enviromental issues of water use QUOTE:Last September, New South Wales Environment Minister Bob Debus announced that 30,000 megalitres of water, worth about $3 million dollars on the open market, would be released into the Macquarie Marshes as environmental flow. Because of subsequent rainfall this was increased to 120,000 megalitres worth about $12 million. A best kept secret is that most of this water was used to fatten cattle on private land.................
When one LOOKS AT THIS STATEMENT... I would just pray for more rain, an bloody torrent of the stuff, let it flood, let it pour!!
What it is of concern, as the writer wrote as her heading, "Fat ducks equal fat cows"
Then I recalled from the daily world health news I receive to another place, re-ducks' feet being smuggled into the USA, from mainland CHINA, for the resturant trade, yes smuggled as it is illegal to import such matter as poultry products from a suspect bird flu area into a non contaminated country,thus far..
So, what about Australia, How VAGILANT ARE WE?
Call me mad, call me 'HardCore Schitzo'what ever!!
There comes a time to be extra,extra careful....
