Putin will arrive in Anapa shortly: december 7. He will officially start the building of a new gaspipe right through the Black Sea.

Guess where the pipe will get into the water? Anapa, location of the bird die-off.

Local inhabitants doubted the bird flu story in the first place, they saw birds with wounds.

Indicating chemicals?

Mmm, birds poisoned, building the important gaspipe? Putin would hate that kind of publicity? Will spoil the party?

All speculation of course.

~5% of ducks are expected to have some low-path flu.
Do they have veterinary autopsies ? После смерти Вскрытие
