And another question arises Susan. Could knowingly selling birds with condemnable disease(healthy or not) be construed as a form of bio-terrorism?

Mycoplasma is not one of the 5 reportable poultry diseases. They cant do anything. They can compile as big of a list as they want... its just gaining a breeder list/collector list. If someone wants an infected flock, they can keep it.
Are they going to make every person in alberta test all their birds? Not likely @ $80/sample.
I just got my birds tested... but thats at my own will - They cant make me because im on some list...
Ty why are you being so defensive? Why do you assume that anyone might 'Make You" do anything? This is about having our sick birds tested. And the more birds in our flocks will determine the percentage of how many (if not all) will be tested. How many did you have tested by the way?
Seems like more misleading info to me...
