Reply to comment by Maximilian_Xavier in Pushing for investigation? Egg fire by btc-lostdrifter0001

Just the fact that significant bird flu has been affecting the country as a whole, the cost to care for these animals, the cost of operations (employee wages, etc.), and overall inflation has been going nuts, and with the massive increase in the price of eggs, just sit right that the farm just suddenly burns down.

I okay. So did a little research on this company.

Which is likely?

  1. Arson which you would need a massive corporate conspiracy, payoffs and hope your insurance company doesn’t catch on. Plus overall increase in premiums regardless. Overall barely effecting bottom line. This seems like small potatoes for them.

Or.

  1. Sketchy ass farm company that has been sued and citied over numerous issues including health, safety and price gouging having lax safety standards that led to the operation burning down.

I’m going to go with the non Hollywood plot. :)

Chicken shit, bedding and feathers make a pretty gnarly combustible mix.

Do you mean they arsoned for the insurance? I doubt it. I would be very surprised if their insurance payout adjusted that quickly based on market rates.

The birds lost in the fire represent 0.2%-0.4% of the birds lost to avian flu recently. It's basically a non-factor in comparison.
