Avian flu outbreak prompts mass euthanization of birds in California

Around 250,000 birds have been euthanized in California after testing positive for avian flu at two farms in the Bay Area. Concerns over the spread of the virus prompted the decision, with two farms in Sonoma County reporting positive avian flu tests among their birds. The California Department of Food and Agriculture confirmed the cases. While the strain is considered low risk to human health, it is highly contagious and often fatal in birds. Poultry owners are urged to report any unusual illness or deaths to the CDFA Sick Bird Hotline.

Bear Attacks: A Deadly Reminder of the Dangers in Bear Country

A black bear in Lunenburg County, Virginia, will be euthanized after it injured a woman who was walking her dog off-leash. The bear emerged from the woods with the dog, and when the woman tried to warn it, the bear stood on its hind legs and approached her, eventually "nibbling" her. The woman fought back and pretended to be dead when the bear chased her dog. She called for help and was airlifted to the hospital in stable condition. The dog was found unharmed at a neighbor's home. The bear will be tested for rabies before being euthanized.

PETA has called for Bob Baffert to be banned from Pimlico after his horse, Havnameltdown, was euthanized on the track of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico after suffering a severe ankle injury hours before the race.
