These birds weren't being used for meat. And, I could be wrong, but I don't believe avain flu can be transmitted through eggs. They have to be slaughtered to protect existing treaties that don't make the distinction.
Also, they could find their way to a cave in northern China, make sweet love to a bat, who then flies south for a hedonistic weekend with a pagolin, who then gets live eaten at a market a few clicks away from the avian flu genetics lab. Do you want to kill the world?
