Poor birds. Wouldn’t it be nice, if scientists somewhere were working on a vaccine? I doubt it, though. Pharmaceutical companies think only of profit, and I doubt there is a lot of profit in saving birds. The poultry industry would never pay for it—birds (they believe) are easily replaced.
that's what they get for being vultures. (it's ok to be a voyeur, but not a vulture)
Poor things…vultures are such peaceful & regal animals. They never bother anything. To have that many die so quickly is so sad.
WTF? Bird flu? How can we stop this, is so sad. Poor birdy's. This is not good.
Vultures are extremely important for ecosystem..the decline of vulture populations can lead to increased disease transmission and resource damage, through increased populations of disease vector and pest animal populations that scavenge carcasses opportunistically. Vultures control these pests and disease vectors indirectly through competition for carcasses
They have taken over some shyt

Will we ever learn? All zoonotic diseases are caused by humans confining animals. We can't keep going like this, we're all going to die of a plague.
H5N1 is the one some virologists worry about. For those who don't know, virologists spend all of their careers studying viruses. Bird flu in birds has like a huge fatality rate and if that translated over to humans some day, well the world would change.
I watch Twiv which is This Week In Virology, a channel on Youtube run by a virology professor.
Also H5N1 has infected some humans, there never has been sustained human-to-human transmission rate. The fatality rate is 50% or higher in the small number of humans it has infected…at least so far.
Through genetic analysis of frozen corpses in permafrost up north that died in the 'Spanish Flu' pandemic, it was proven to be bird flu.
Wasn't windmills the bird mega killer, in America's least developed cognitive abilities population pockets ????????
700 vultures died this is not good there stomach most of the time can handle anything 🤦
😔 Now that the government has taken over, there's no chance to just quarantine all the birds in a barn and allow them to get over it like we do with the flu.
🐔🐓 I'm devastated to hear this happened to Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary! All those poor chickens, turkeys, vultures, and other birds were rescued from horrific conditions and slaughterhouses to live their life in peace now have to face this, the terrible threat of Bird Flu 😭
Vultures have one of the best immune systems in the world so this does seem a bit suspect.
Ok these are vultures, aren't they immune to any virus or disease, they eat dead animals, or are they fed diet food that's why they died!
Hershel told them about the Bad air,put a helmet on them, it will go away.
How can they contain flying animals & keep this from spreading fast. Omg! 😣
Aww that’s terrible
What were they eating?
Poor birds all together and wiped out.
Seems the actual problem is government’s reaction to over-killing
There won't be any Turkey on the shelves this Thanksgivings, not with the "dark winter" coming.
More lies
Don't know what's true, Trump had 700 documents or 700 buzzards died. Maybe we are being toyed with. Brainwashing continues.
Awe poor birds 🙁
Feed them to the illegal immigrants
How many boosters for bird flu?
There's more vultures in the White House
😭
Lol didn't they already try bird flu before?
So much life wasted to protect others
Unbelievable that an animal that eats rotting flesh can die from a virus.

The question is will it spread from animal to human?
