In the opening days of 2021, avian influenza has taken hold across seven Indian states, moving through poultry farms, zoos, and wild bird populations with a speed that has forced authorities into a posture of urgent containment. The closure of the Kanpur zoo, the silencing of markets, and the mass culling of birds reflect an ancient human reckoning with zoonotic disease — the fragile boundary between animal and human worlds made visible once more.

Consumers face reduced poultry and egg availability, potential price increases for meat and protein sources, temporary market closures limiting food access, and heightened food safety concerns. Lower-income households disproportionately affected due to reliance on affordable poultry protein.
Government likely to implement stricter biosecurity protocols, expand culling programs, establish containment zones, regulate poultry trade across state borders, increase veterinary surveillance, and potentially introduce import restrictions on poultry products. May require emergency food supply measures and compensation schemes for affected farmers.
