Don't kiss your chickens!

That's the message from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is blaming a salmonella outbreak on backyard chicken owners being overly affectionate with their flocks.



JESUS CHRIST. people are fucking stupid. this is what happens when people who live in cities decide to be "farmers" they aren't fucking pets!

chickens + people = disease
chickens + pigs + people = more disease
monkeys + people = disease

We got this figured out. Maybe we need some Sesame Street sing-alongs to spread the news.

Being born and raised in Chicago, it reminds me of the first time one of my college friends invited me to his family home in Southern Illinois. Showed me their garden...

All I could think was "What is wrong with these people? Can't they see that they have food all over the ground?"

You shouldn't be too close to outdoor pets either.

You shouldn't even kiss outdoor humans. The reason prisoners and military men have shaved heads is to prevent fleas. For most of human history, soldiers were more likely to die from disease than die from actual combat.

I mentioned this story to my wife. Her first response was "Why would anyone kiss a chicken? They're disgusting, they eat each others' scabs."
