After finding hundreds of dead vultures on
the side of Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary,
the Department of Agriculture tested
the birds and detected the H5N1 virus,
better known as. Bird flu animal care
manager Alison Hedgecoth says so far,
at least 700 vultures have died.
And we're continuing to
have vultures die every day,
so it could be even higher now.
The sanctuary is home to at least 500
birds of other species now in danger
of being euthanized to curb the spread.
Already, state officials have humanely
euthanized at least 20 to 30 birds on site.
All of our chickens were
euthanized yesterday.
And our turkeys.
