Who Wore What at MET GALA 2023
Japan’s worst-ever bird flu outbreak has totally destroyed its poultry flocks, sending egg prices skyrocketing. There is no longer enough space to bury dead chickens.
This season, more than 17 million birds have been killed across the country. To avoid spreading the virus or contaminating water supplies, carcasses must be properly disposed of.
Local governments and farmers say that there is a scarcity of suitable land to bury them.
Japan’s situation highlights the necessity for nations to evaluate their approaches against avian influenza, especially as the virus’s record-breaking death rates are starting to become the norm worldwide. While the majority of outbreaks have been in Europe, the US, and Asia, the disease has recently expanded to South America, with Bolivia, Argentina, and Uruguay reporting their first cases.
In a time of heightened inflation concerns, this is causing the world’s meat and egg supplies to become unstable. Companies like McDonald’s and 7-Eleven were obliged to stop selling egg-related products or raise their prices as a result of the outbreak in Japan.
To manage the wastes produced during a bird flu outbreak, including carcasses, manure, and personal protective equipment, farmers and authorities typically prepare pre-incident plans. However, reports stated that the quantity of chickens that must be disposed of has grown above their expectations. Those areas that can access cremation facilities burn the deceased chickens.
