Bird flu and insurance fraud?

My first thought was, does this have something to do with bird flu? Are we speculating that H5N1 was found and they needed to recoup the loss?

I mean, chicken shit can self combust in the right conditions, so hanlon's razor might apply here.

Sawdust is pretty explosive once ignited, and they usually have big blowers forcing air through the place.

They’re basically designed like blast furnaces if ignition occurs.
