Health officials in Kingston confirmed on Friday that Avian Flu, also known as bird flu, was detected in a rash of sick and dying Geese found on the Lake Ontario waterfront.

The City of Kingston said last week that it was investigating after finding approximately 30 dead Canadian Geese that showed signs of an illness.

Avian Flu was detected at a poultry farm in western Quebec last month. Experts from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency say the virus spreads through feces and the nasal and eye discharges of infected birds.

Health Canada says there are 23 active investigations in Canada for domestic birds infected with Avian Flu, mostly at poultry farms. There is one investigation in Ontario at a poultry farm in the town of Amherstburg.

Geese catch bird flu from the factory farms you buy your cruelty and violence from. Soon, you will, too.
