I’m not surprised. Border enforcement, like all law enforcement entities, do more to hassle harmless actions than stopping harmful ones. They’re the wrong group to handle the fentanyl epidemic anyway. That should be the job of proper drug rehabilitation programs.
could be for good reason, there’s a huge bird flu outbreak in the US right now, plus the US also has really strict egg washing laws, so depending on where these eggs are going, and assuming that it isn’t just eggs, which is likely, it could make sense.
thats not actually all that true, spread usually tends to respect borders a little bit, but only because those borders are generally a choke point. Usually spread is going to be via things like planes and airports, which tend to uh, bypass them. Although i wonder how much livestock flies by plane.
It also depends on how it spreads, there are a few theories, one is due to the migratory behavior of birds, and if that goes over canada, that could very well be the case, but it’s not strictly clear how it’s even managing to spread right now.

It’s strange that Canada isn’t having the same issue: epidemics don’t usually respect borders
