  • A bit of a strangely organised article. The relevant information is actually near the end of the article, with the start just providing general slaughterhouse tactics. Here’s a summary of the relevant info:

    • Chickens and turkeys are being slaughtered in horrible ways (this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone) and they’re killed in mostly the same ways for avian flu.
    • The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) hired some companies previously convicted of animal cruelty to carry out killings for avian flu, in some cases paying them more for these avian flu killings than the previous fines (in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars).
    • The CFIA has to compensate the company for killing their animals, which can be millions of dollars.

    Unfortunately the original order makes it very annoying to read if you don’t care about the website’s agenda. They’d probably have more success in reaching other audiences if they skipped the general slaughterhouse tactics part since it isn’t about avian flu at all.









  • While light bulb sockets don’t change much from region to region, they definitely aren’t all the same. For the bulbs (not the bars), there’s two large categories: Edison screws and bi-pin. Edison screws also come in a lot of sizes. When compact fluorescents were rolling out, they got a new bi-pin connector from the USA: GU24. My whole home has GU24 fixtures (not by my own choice), but my lamps are Edison screws.
