These cows, confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza (H5N1), were left exposed without any warning signs or biosecurity precautions. The footage was deemed too graphic for publication.

“What was so shocking was that there was so little signage around anywhere telling the public about avian influenza and warning them of the biosecurity risks,” Heath told Newsweek.

This news article adds photos, more context, and local details about how the virus came into the biggest “dairy” region in the US.

The cow pharmers are throwing the dead cows on the side the road like trash because that’s where it’s most convenient for the trash “rendering” truck to collect the bodies. It’s not really surprising that they’re ignoring biosecurity. What is important is that they’re failing to contain this epidemic.

    These cows, confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza (H5N1), were left exposed without any warning signs […]

    They make it sound like piling dead cows on the roadside is perfectly fine if you just add some signage.

    I’m worried that wildlife could come into contact with them.

    Of course that’s a concern! These poor creatures have no signage to read, which would tell them to stay away.

    With how conditions usually are, I’m actually amazed these people only created one pandemic during my lifetime (so far). The sheer amount of horrors created by them never fails to shock me.
