Mexico Kills 8 Million Chickens To Contain H7N3 Virus

Posted by Soulskill on from the suddenly-glad-we're-the-dominant-species-on-this-planet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mexico has so far slaughtered eight million chickens and vaccinated 66 million more in an effort to contain a bird flu outbreak in the west of the country, officials said Tuesday. The country's agriculture ministry had identified the diseased chickens during the vaccination process in the Los Altos region of Jalisco state, which led to the destruction of the H7N3-carrying birds."
