destruction and disposal orders HELP

[AmyLynn2374]

Ya thats what i thought aswell.... bottom line is dont bring in anything at a time like this...


here in Canada, Ontario we had 2 farms totaling 80 000 birds, Canadas regulations for disposal has only 1 option. compost on site in the infected barn, 90 days... test everday after such a period of time i cant remember all the details. but no birds are to be removed from the infected barns. in the US your regulations are fricken crazy... they are moving birds out to wherever, landfills, fields and burrying them, incinerating them isnt fool proof either... so called sterilizing the barns asap and filling them back up with a new crop! WOW and the virus is still spreading across the US like a wild fire in a hayfield...

stay safe, good luck to you all!

One of the stories I read said that they closed the barn, gassed the birds, then had to compost the pile inside the barn while keeping the barn locked to keep out predators that may drag infected birds off. I will see if I can find the link to that story again

It depends where you are as to how they are handling it. Some areas are incinerating, some are composting on the farms/and or burying and others are burying them in landfills. I've read stories of all varieties. Sad thing is we don't have a national protocal in place to handle such things.

This is some scary stuff. I'm glad things turned around for the OP, and thanks for bringing it to light.

Kudos to you John, this has been a great story to follow. I just noticed that your signature says "relocated from Long Island". When I was watching you on the news, I thought "He sure doesn't sound like he's from VA"

Great video, John. Happy to see them all hale and hardy! You know, you thanked us, but we also need to thank you. I'm no dummy - I knew about bio security and the recent AI scare. But in the back of my pea brain it was a "It won't happen here - I'm just a small outfit" kind of thought process. You brought home that it CAN happen here. I'm sure mine weren't the only eyes opened over the last few days. So thank you too, and all the posters who shared links and information.

Beautiful video, John! So happy that all is going positive for you! (Or *negative* as the testing proves, lol)

I would like to thank you for sharing your experience and thankful avoidance of tragedy with your flock. Took a lot to share and open yourself up to criticism as well as the support.
This is something that everyone can learn from and hopefully it will help others to avoid going through the same things you have or worse.

Good luck to you and your babies!!!
