A truck with birds is pictured on the site of duck farmer Sebastien Pujos in Belloc-Saint-Clamens, southwestern France, on January 6, 2017, during the first wave of a mass bird slaughter after the detection of bird flu. Authorities in southwest France began a cull of hundreds of thousands of ducks January 5 as the government scrambles to contain an outbreak of a virulent strain of bird flu sweeping Europe. The farm birds in France's foie gras heartland are to be slaughtered to stem the spread of an outbreak of the highly pathogenic H5N8 virus. / AFP / REMY GABALDA (Photo credit should read REMY GABALDA/AFP/Getty Images)
