Highly pathogenic H5N8 virus was first detected in a bird in a pet shop on the Mediterranean island of Corsica

French producers of foie gras have called for a mass preventive cull of ducks to try to halt the spread of a severe strain of bird flu that is ripping through poultry farms in the south-west of the country.

Well then maybe they shouldn't have a foie gras industry.

Tortured birds are stressed and crowded. No one is listening to the dangers

This disgusting product should be banned forthwith in the same way that there should be a complete ban on culling of whales.

Maybe Foie gras should stop being an industry. 🙄 goVegan atleaststoptorturinganimals

Better to stop this inhumane industry at all

Wait years for a virus then along come two together...

Just don't eat them

How many animals have to be destroyed en masse this year? Millions; like last year? Zoonotic transmission isn’t a certainty so why such extreme ‘calls’?

At least the only ones affected by this cull is those that profiteer off the torture of these birds. They were destined to die in an aweful way, this just brings their death forward a bit, possibly with a quicker murder.

This is ridiculous, first covid, then brexit and now this. What next Almas Caviar banned!

Hope this brings an end to at least the traditional methods in the fois gras industry.

Why’s there no vaccine against bird flu ?

Burn them all 😈

Ducking hell they are going quackers I wouldn’t want to see the bill

STOP the entire cruel industry.

this a f/*cking CRIME!

French ducks can't catch a break.
