Alexander Tin reports:
The decision marks a rebuke of an idea floated by Trump administration officials in recent weeks to change the policy. More than 35 million birds have been killed in response to bird flu outbreaks in commercial flocks so far this year, according to the USDA's figures.
"The Biden plan was to just kill chickens, and they spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken," Kevin Hasset [sic], director of the White House's economic council, told CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Feb. 16.
The U.S. and most other countries have a "stamping-out policy" for bird flu, in order to comply with standards that underpin international poultry exports from the World Organization for Animal Health, or WOAH.
