The highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) is affecting millions of wild and domesticated bird populations in North America, Europe, and Asia. When the virus is detected in farm flocks, the farms are deemed a biosecurity hazard and, often, the birds are killed. Depending on the country, the means of ending the birds' lives are by live burial, CO2 poisoning, ventilation shutdown, or through the use of firefighting foam which asphyxiates the birds. Small flocks, backyard flocks, and animal sanctuaries are also affected. If the virus is detected at these farms, all the birds must be killed as well. A small flock farmer from Southern Ontario expressed that they would follow regulations and be without birds for the required time. In the control zones around Southern Ontario, many farms have biosecurity signs, prohibiting pedestrian and vehicular traffic from entering the properties. As of April 27, 2022, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency 717,000 birds have been affected in Canada. Canada, 2022. Jo-Anne McArthur / We Animals Media

A small, curious backyard flock of laying hens. The farmer stated that if H5N1 were to reach his flock, he would follow regulations and kill them, and then simply be without hens for a while, replacing them when it was safe to do so.
