Pale Green Horse & Global Food Crisis: Nepal hit by H5N1

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

The tiny country of Nepal has been hit with H5N1.

“We sent samples for investigation to London after chickens started to die of a mysterious disease in commercial poultry farms. We have received the test reports today that confirms infection of bird flu in poultry farms…”-Ram Krishna Khatiwada, Directorate of Animal Health

Some people reported feeling strange, but Nepal’s health officials say it is caused by fear, and that they don’t think any people have become infected.  At least 4,000 poultry will be killed in an attempt to stop the spread of H5N1 in Nepal.
