Government to proceed with feral chicken cull
The Cayman Islands government is moving toward the launch of a feral chicken culling programme, following the country’s first-ever outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza late last year and growing concern about the role free-roaming birds could play in future disease transmission.
The move comes after the World Organisation for Animal Health declared Cayman free of avian flu, clearing the way for longer-term measures aimed at reducing risk rather than responding to an active outbreak. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
