| Message | We believe this is what caused the bird flu... Farmers in that area were watched by the precedent government about their use of these pesticides, and it has been officialized by the Bird Flu. So why keeping allowing them? We should punish those who use chemical pesticides instead of regulating them. |

| Message | How does bird flu come about because of pesticides? It is more likely that bird flu would be killed by pesticides and vaccines given to cows. |
