Article: Owls are being decapitated

Let the rats overrun the place then.
Can't save people from their own superstitious ignorance.

Apparently owls are equated with witchcraft, so people are decapitating them or removing their eyes. Sigh... yup, we're still in darkest Africa

Haha, well, lucky then that the First World, in contrast, leads by shining and rational example:

What is dishonest about believing the US Centres for Disease Control over some random troll on MyBB ?

http://www.cdc.gov/

The CDC piece you posted is about VHFs in general (with Ebola being one of them), and it mentions rodent control in relation to VHFs in general, as some of the VHFs are spread by rodents (Lassa Fever, Venezuelan HF). At no point does it draw the rodent-Ebola link as you suggest it does. That is dishonesty.
 
Don't think so. However, the black plague was spread by fleas living on rats.

It is quite possible that it may be able to be spread by other carriers.

There is a fair amount of concealment of the truth of ebola. As an example, there is a rather technical arguement about whether ebola is airborne. I suppose that according to a very technical definition it isn't. Malaria means bad air and it was thought that you caught that disease from living in an area that had bad air - all along it being bloody mosquitoes. And you can argue all you like about whether malaria is air borne or borne via air because that makes such a difference when you get it. Same with ebola - the most important thing that you can do is argue that someone sneezing in your face isn't the same as ebola being air borne.

I think the story was that a pig and a goat were in cages unable to come into physical contact yet there was a transmission of the ebola virus from one to another. I don't think the story had any word on the outcome for either the pig or the goat in terms of whether they succumbed to the virus and that isn't really relevant. What is relevant is that the virus may be carried by other living organisms and long enough for the virus to be transmitted. Heck, they even destroyed the dog of the Spanish nurse.

Keep on smoking that good stuff.

Also go onto the CDC site and do a search for "ebola rats". There is more.

There is just no way that you can state that Ebola cannot be transmitted by rodents.

What is your issue, did I spoil your good trolling day ?

The owls are deployed because of rats.
The rats are there because the residents are too lazy to clean up after themselves. They litter and leave the rubbish that it stacks up.

There is no pride and want others to clean their sheeeeeet. They can go to hell!

Let's be fair - rats are everywhere. The quantity of the scaly-tailed vermin, in the case of Alex and other places, is probably due to residents just not giving a damn about the rubbish.

Not my problem if you have defective reasoning capabilities and reading comprehension. Let me quote your initial post I responded to:

"If bats can spread it, then rats can spread it.

They even killed the patient in Spain's dog."

This is nonsense. Bats don't spread it, people spread it by eating infected bats. And it's a non-sequitur. It does not follow that rats can spread it even if bats can spread it. They're not even the same species. And neither are dogs. So that's another non-sequitur.
 
With the latest i phone in one pocket and primitive beliefs inthe other!!
 
I support the decapitation of owls. They are a harbinger of bad luck and are considered a bad omen.
