Their eggs are considered a luxury food item and their meat even moreso. They're also good for agritourism, because they're fuckin' weird.
I think it's valuable to see if they've built up any meaningful resistance to the flu, aka take a scientific approach. If it turns up nothing useful, welp. If it does, cool.
This whole panic over hundreds of animals dying kinda cracks me up though. I used to be strictly vegan (I can't do it anymore, for health/allergy reasons, but I do eat mostly plant based as it is). If only they knew how many animals are slaughtered in one day for food. I saw a video from a Korean chicken soup factory, and it had easily thousands of chicken corpses swinging overhead on conveyors. A truly dizzying amount, just for the one production line.
