Scavenger animals are the missing link in Australia’s bird flu response. Three experts explain
"There are currently five confirmed or suspected cases of the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strain in Western Australia, alongside one in South Australia and one in New South Wales."
"We want to protect our native scavengers, while limiting the harm introduced scavengers may do to our ecosystems. Our bird flu response must prioritise the health and management of scavenger animals. Only then can we protect our animals, ecosystems and communities from a wider H5N1 outbreak." >>

High temperatures reduce feed intake, increase water demand and cut milk output. They're standing there with their mouths wide open, just trying to find air...It's very difficult, physically for people and for the animals." >>

Industrial #livestock farms breached #environment regulations over 700 times in 7 years in East Anglia alone. Official reports show breaches of intensive #poultry & #pig farms: water, ground & air #pollution incidents (incl. #slurry contamination); dead animal #carcasses left outside; #farms overstocked with more livestock than allowed; irregularities with #transport & disposal of farm waste; lack of record keeping. Most breaches resulted only in advice & guidance: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/05/east-anglian-farms-breach-environment-regulations-700-times-in-seven-years

#Cows dead from #birdflu rot in #California as heat bakes dairy #farms, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/cows-dead-from-bird-flu-rot-in-california-as-heat-bakes-dairy-farms/ar-AA1ss1tp
#Carcasses left in the open and picked over by #scavengers could facilitate the spread of bird flu to other #birds and wild #animals or degrade the carcasses such that they cannot be processed for rendering, experts told Reuters.

Investigating this mortality in the #wildlife areas in north-west #Zimbabwe proved challenging. Identifying and then reaching the #carcasses in time to obtain useful samples is one problem we often face in this type of work

In #BEF_China, he studies whether the diversity of trees affects the decomposition of animal #carcasses and #decomposer diversity. Not nice for the 👃 and potentially 🤢🤮 But don't worry, we show only nice photos here 😉 @multitroph

A #biologist and wild horse #researcher is calling for stronger #federal and #provincial #protections for the #animals after 17 #carcasses were found in rural #BritishColumbia .
##WildHorses are an #important part of #Canadian #heritage , #FirstNation #culture and the #ecosystem , and need #legislation to #protect them, he said in an interview on Wednesday.
