The USDA and APHIS has issued a ban on hunter harvested game birds from Canada from entering the USA because of avian flu. How will the government close the border to migrating waterfowl ? What geniuses we have in DC. Must be only hunter harvested game birds carry avian flu ?

Bird brains in DC

Probably a mask mandate coming for those birds.

Ship them from Canada to Mexico then walk 'em right in!

Seems we let everyone and everything in from the southern border!

Heck, you'll probably get a free cell phone and a free bus ride home!

If you have not learned from Covid, the restrictions do not have to make sense or be effective, as the objective is to give the appearance that the government agency in charge is doing something about it.

This is just another way this administration is trying to make everything as hard as possible on people that don't support them.

Well many believe that the wind mills kill thousands if not million per year so a 3000 mile row of those should do the trick.

Taxidermy birds go to the Customs clearance offices on the boarder crossing and then sent to an approved agency is the only way to get something back.

Somewhat valid, the avian flu has crushed many a flock in the USA. Take a look at egg prices next time you are at the store. It does seem bizarre that it would be so specified to hunter harvested though.

How many millions of birds are migrating south from Canda right now? That kind makes the new rule invalid from my simple view

Hopefully someone tells the ducks and geese they can't migrate across the boarder

I believe that it says the birds have to be processed to be able to cross the border. Not many people transport freshly shot birds.

I still can’t believe some still try and validate anything their side issues as a mandate. At least a pause shows some independent thought. Anyone with common sense realizes this is bunk, do hunters even harvest 5% of the birds crossing the border illegally without their masks???lol

Fully processed, meaning completely cleaned and cooked, AFHIS definition. USFWS requires transport with one full wing attached. You cannot comply with both regulations from different branches of the Federal Government.

Exactly

Stop insulting the birds, LOL.

no the Taxi birds have to be incinerated the carcasses and the feathers cleaned by disinfectant.....and they have to be pre-approved place.
There is no movement of poultry products across the line at this point.

Food banks won’t take them unless they are guberment inspected.

Defies logic that a dead duck in the freezer can spread the flu as much as millions of birds interacting across thousands of miles.
