Dear colleagues,bird flue which affects all of the world poultry industry gave much more damages to Turkey's poultry sector. Was this subject so important thing for them was th news but nobody knows if that news were right or scientific. These good journalists said something about that subject and they stopped talking. For example, in aregion that some kind of wild birds live haphazard in Turkey, when some fo Turkeys got sick, all fo the media made a scare and front-page headline about bird flue. Actually in Turkey, not even one organized trade farm has that illness.

So what for was it yellow journalism? Because of this gossip, people are afraid of the healthiest and the most delicious nutriment of the world; the cihcken storehouses became full, people had to change their nutrition habits, and poultry sector had agreat damage. By the way people who think that it was an infectious illness bought only one special medicament which was known the only product to cure from that illness. However they don't know the name of this medicament before this sensation. It wasn't only for Turkey, it was for the entire world. Poultry sector had great damages but thanks to bird flue some people made money.
