AR-News: (CA)B.C. to slaughter 36,000 chickens

[Animalconcerns]

Federal officials plan to kill 36,000 chickens on a Matsqui farm this
weekend to stop the spread of a deadly form of bird flu.

Late Friday -- a day after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency imposed an
"avian influenza control area" that restricts movement of all birds and
bird products in the Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver --laboratory
tests confirmed that chickens at a second Matsqui farm had the same strain
of high-pathogenic virus as the chickens on Loewen Acres, a farm just two
kilometres away.
