Eight skunks that were found dead in Vancouver and Richmond last month have tested positive for the same strain of avian flu that has decimated some B.C. poultry farms over the last year.
Wildlife rescue workers were initially concerned the skunks had been deliberately poisoned, but the Ministry of Agriculture and Food confirmed Monday that the animals were infected with H5N1.
Outbreaks of avian flu have impacted millions of birds across Canada since April 2022, and forced some farmers to cull entire herds to stop the spread. B.C. has recorded more farm outbreaks than anywhere else in Canada. Some of the animals were dead when they arrived, while others were suffering symptoms that ranged from trouble breathing to seizures.
