Does anybody else smell a rat?

I can't believe Bird Flu has broken out in a confined, controlled, closed environment, by accident.

I'm wondering who would sacrifice 16,000 Turkeys just to make a point. I can't believe any kind of animal lover or vegetarian would cause the death of so many creatures.

Could it be a competitor, jealous of the success of Bernard Mathews? Or more frighteningly, would I be crazy to think that it had been introduced deliberately on behalf of a foreign government, so that they can say "NO" to our exports of poultry?

I just struggle to believe it is accidental, when there are free-range poultry farms close by, with no signs of Bird Flu at all.

I hope the cause can be traced and if it was started deliberately, remember you read it here first.
