Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.
Nebraska’s governor has declared a state of emergency because of a bird flu strain that has contributed to the termination of 33 million birds in 16 states.
Governor Pete Ricketts declared the state of emergency on Thursday after federal officials said a second farm in the state had tested positive for the avian flu virus. The declaration is the fourth by governors after Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
The action by the governor would allow emergency funds to be release to the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and other state agencies tasked with stopping the spread of the flu virus.
Experts say the H5 strains post little threat to human health but are on the verge of record levels in the U.S.
“Having a second farm in Nebraska confirmed to have HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) is unfortunate but not completely unexpected,” said Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach. “This follows the pattern we’ve seen in other states when it comes to the spread of the virus.”
Ibach said that 1.8 million birds will be destroyed. The state’s first case resulted in the destruction of 1.7 million.
Where did these birds come from? Raised in USA or shipped from ?
In British Columbia, Canada, also there has been thousands of birds destroyed. Not enough of this in the news.
