Hundreds of pheasants dead in fire at Wisconsin 'sporting' complex

Except for the recent poultry processing factory disaster in Northeastern China, it has been awhile since I've heard of a poultry barn fire, but one took place last night at the Wern Valley Sportsmen's Club in Waukesha, Wisconsin, resulting in over six hundred pheasant deaths.

When making a statement, the club groundskeeper   said,  "It could have been a lot worse."  While it is hard for me to imagine anything worse, this much is true: poultry barn fires can often result tens of thousands of bird fatalities at a time.  I can only assume he was talking about property, or human life, and not about the birds.
