Correct me if I'm wrong....

but....did the SCMP on Friday have an article on the front page at the bottom left about bird flu...

the article mentioned that a second native bird had tested positive for the bird flu virus and as such all chickens in the NT had to be either vaccinated, given up to the authorities or eaten...

It's the 'eaten' part I am querying...is this a case of 'eating the evidence'?

Or am I dreaming...?
