Egypt Slaughters 10's Of Thousands French Ducklings.
CAIRO, Oct 23 (AFP) - Egypt's civil aviation authority slaughtered thousands of French ducklings on Sunday after it was ordered earlier this week to comply with a ban on imports of live birds and poultry products to keep out bird flu, an airport official said.
I just have one question. Were the FRENCH ducklings offered a chance to surrender first?

Of course, the surrendering is done in front of a large crowd of arts patrons, because the French have developed surrendering into a fine art over the years, some say watching a Frenchman, French woman or French duck surrender is poetry in motion.
