Und weil wir gerade dabei sind, hier noch ein Artikel, der aufzeigt, wie das US Militär es sieht, wenn jemand mutwillig H5N1 Viren in der Gegend verstreut, wie sich das einige auch hier im Forum offenbar vorstellen, die offenbar nicht in der Lage sind, über ihren Tellerrand zu schauen.

Die Amerikaner finden das nämlich gar nicht witzig, und würden vermutlich auf derlei Aktivitäten schon im Ansatz entsprechend hart reagieren. Da sind Gestalten vom Gabarit eines SH oder Geflügel & Co samt ihrer angeblichen Interessen ganz ganz kleine Fische jenseits der Wahrnehmungsgrenze, die ggf im Handumdrehen von der Bildfläche verschwinden würden.

Agriculture is one of the easiest sectors of the U.S. economy to disrupt, and its disruption could have catastrophic consequences for the U.S. and world economies. Agriculture in the U.S. accounts for 13% of the current Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provides employment for 15% of the population. It produces high-quality, cheap, plentiful food for domestic consumption and accounts for more than $50 billion in exports. The likelihood of terrorist acts interrupting the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products is high: A number of different possible plant or animal pathogens could cause harm or loss of production, and even an act of agroterrorism that did not result in the destruction of foodstuffs or interruptions in the food supply could have a psychological impact. A number of recent unintentional events and epidemics have prompted the U.S. and other countries to provide resources to counteract contagious diseases and contain their impact, including increased funding to federal agencies that are responsible for protecting domestic agriculture. This article presents recommendations to protect agriculture, including changing the way agriculture is viewed on the federal level and increasing the resources to protect agriculture from terrorist attack.
