Pennsylvania begins mass chicken elimination
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Alex

Posted on 03/14/2025 6:45:20 AM PDT by davikkm

Pennsylvania has initiated a large-scale chicken elimination program in response to a severe outbreak of avian influenza. This decisive action aims to prevent the spread of the highly contagious virus, which poses a significant threat to both the poultry industry and public health.

The elimination process involves the humane euthanization of infected and exposed birds. This step is crucial to containing the virus and preventing its spread to other farms. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture is coordinating closely with local farmers to ensure the culling is carried out efficiently and humanely.

The outbreak has led to heightened biosecurity measures across the state. Farmers are being urged to report any signs of illness in their flocks and to adhere to the guidelines set by authorities. These measures include strict protocols for monitoring and controlling the movement of poultry.

“prevent the spread”

So after 5 years, I see that we are still subscribing to the idea that we can stop a communicable virus without a vaccine (a real one), rather than to let it spread naturally and for the (in this case chicken) population to develop natural immunity.

Bird Flu could have been over by now.

They used to just choke their chickens, now they kill them. Humanely, or course.

So. What lab (likely sponsored by former elements of the Biden Regime) is responsible for creating/testing/loosing this current version?

Inquiring minds want to know...what is ‘humane euthanization’ of thousands of birds? How does that work, actually?
Per copilot AI: “Methods like cervical dislocation, CO2 gas exposure, and electrocution are commonly used, depending on the scale and circumstances...”
Yup, humane. Stop trying to placate the PETA folks.

What evidence is there that avian influenza is a threat to human health?

With this, like COVID, and global warming, claims of "science" are being used as tools of political manipulation and are intended to destroy us.

Being managed by the same “experts” who brought us the COVID response?

A highly infectious respiratory infection in humans or animals has never been stopped without an effective vaccine. And even traditional flu vaccines are only effective about half the time.

If an antibiotic resistant version of pneumonic plague got past the contact tracing phase in a city, all you could do is stop all movement in or out, ring the city with soldiers, and wait for plague deaths to fall to zero after something like 80% of the population died.

Probably 0 which is why the article says highly contagious but not highly deadly.

This is insane. The powers that be are eliminating Herd Immunity.

However, it is a great way to destroy all small chicken / egg businesses and ensure mega-corporations are the only entities that can produce. It is American citizens who are being trapped by this tragedy.

The problem with killing them all is that no antibodies are developed. Mother nature is not allowed to do her thing. No chicken will ever be immune.

This crap NEVER happened when I was a kid, or even as a young adult.

Yep. You’ve got to wonder why nobody EVER talks about chickens developing natural immunity. You’ve got to wonder why bureaucrats want to kill every chicken which they THINK has even been EXPOSED whether they actually get the virus or not. You’ve got to wonder why there is DAMN NEAR ZERO talk of more people raising backyard chickens rather than high density commercial chickens in battery cages. You’ve got to wonder why high density operations are damn near only ONE BREED and nobody ever suggests DIVERSITY in chicken breeds even though it is a mantra of the left in people.

FDA ought to intervene on both the supply and herd immunity fronts.

Recall that naturally developed immunity was declared BS by the powers that be during the covid scamdemic.

And conveniently enough, there’s a new mRNA ‘vaccine’ ready to go to jab all the layers.

Our masters will get that mRNA poison in us one way or another.

You may add that question (and many others) to the list of questions I started in post #16.
