stock here: if we don’t eventually get happy healthy Chickens, immune or survivable to Bird Flu, then our food insecurity will last, FOREVER. A-Eye is anti-RFK.
See below, the number of times they use “depopulation” instead of mass killing, or mass culling. 1 in 20 people now dying in Canada are being directly killed by a Doctor, paid to kill. Yes, that is real.

USDA Rules on Bird Flu Depopulation and Indemnity
Below is a detailed conversation-style summary covering how and why mass culling of chickens occurs during outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), who enforces it, what laws empower the action, and how much farmers are compensated per chicken type.
1. Legal / Regulatory Authority
Primary law: The Animal Health Protection Act (AHPA) — 7 U.S.C. § 8301 et seq. — gives USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) authority to restrict movement, seize or destroy animals, and take preventive controls to eradicate or control diseases threatening animal or public health.
Regulations: 9 C.F.R. Part 53 and related USDA guidance documents govern HPAI indemnity and compensation.
Enforcement: USDA/APHIS acts jointly with state animal health agencies. Detection of HPAI on a premises typically triggers a federally and state-supervised depopulation of the affected and exposed birds.
2. Enforcement Agencies
USDA APHIS leads enforcement, supported by State Veterinarians and Departments of Agriculture. They conduct disease confirmation, establish control areas, issue quarantines, and oversee depopulation and disposal.
3. Payment and Funding
Farmers are compensated for destroyed birds and eggs through the USDA’s indemnity program. Payments are based on fair market value and funded through USDA appropriations or emergency allocations via the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). Compensation does not cover lost future production or income.
4. Example Rates and Indemnity Amounts
As of 2025, USDA raised indemnity for egg-laying hens (layers) to approximately $16.94 per bird. Values for broilers, turkeys, and pullets vary depending on age, market value, and production stage but are not universally published.
Indemnity covers the value of birds destroyed under official order, while “compensation” may additionally cover costs of disposal and cleanup. Farmers must meet biosecurity audit requirements to receive payment.

7. Discussion of Food Supply Impact
About one-third of U.S. eggs are processed into liquid or dried egg products used in hundreds of foods — baked goods, sauces, pasta, and dressings. Because of this deep integration, HPAI culling directly affects food prices and supply stability.
Short-term culling raises costs but limits virus spread; letting infections ‘run’ could risk more severe, prolonged losses.
8. RFK Jr.’s Position
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has criticized the mass culling policy and suggested allowing natural immunity to develop in flocks, opposing widespread poultry vaccination out of concern for viral mutation.
Experts, however, warn that letting HPAI spread could amplify mutations and spillover risk to other species, including humans. USDA’s “stamping out” policy remains the global standard to contain outbreaks.
9. Summary
The culling of chickens in the U.S. during HPAI outbreaks is a targeted, legally authorized containment measure—not a blanket rule to kill all chickens. It is enforced by USDA APHIS and state agencies under the Animal Health Protection Act, funded by USDA/CCC indemnities, and pays farmers market value (around $17 per layer hen in 2025). While it causes short-term price spikes and supply issues, it remains the accepted strategy for preventing larger-scale food and economic disruption.
