Bird flu

I know that bird flu is a big deal, especially now that it's becoming a problem in Turkey which means western Europe is starting to freak out, and I know that I watch too much CNN, especially when I've been home sick with the stomach flu, but really, is it necessary for CNN to continuously (no exaggeration) show footage of the agricultural workers chasing chickens around, carrying them by their necks, and throwing them into bags to be killed (or should I say "culled")? Please stop. It's grossing me out.
