There has been a second outbreak of highly-pathogenic avian influenza in North Perth.

The first was five days earlier and meant the sacrifice of 56,000 turkeys.

There have been seven outbreaks in Ontario this year and 62 previous years for a total of 1,343,000 birds.

British Columbia has been hit the hardest, probably because poultry farms are clustered in the Fraser Valley.

There have been 35 this year and 241 in total resulting in the loss of more than 10 million birds.

Alberta Is next with 15 this year and a total of 98 and the loss of 2,511,000 birds.
