Just trying to think ahead regarding the possible situation of Bird Flu in the UK.  As my dogs are fed the BARF diet, chicken wings plays a large part.  Does anyone have any thoughts or information as to the sad and tragic possibility that bird culling might happen.  Would freezing kill the virus anyway?  Could handling raw chicken be a risk?

Does anyone know of any internet site that has knowledgeable information about the virus?

Thanks.  Hopefully things will not develop into such an awful situation, but I would like to try and be better informed and therefore prepared.

As it is a respiratory virus I can't see that any dead chicken, feathered, plucked, skinned, raw or cooked would present a risk in terms of this :)
I wouldn't worry too much about the culling they all end up dead anyway it's how they make the poor perishers live that is really the issue

I agree that it seems that it would not be possible to get bird flu from dead chickens. My major concern in the case of an outbreak is that there may be a shortage of chickens to kill for meat.

It's not possible to catch 'human' flu from a human corpse - beause it's not breathing! A chicken wing isn't breathing either, so you can't catch avian flu from it, even if the virus had mutated - which it hasn't ...
