Forty tigers to be killed after 30 die of bird flu

Thai authorities will kill about 40 tigers believed to be sick with bird flu after 30 others died at a private zoo, officials said on Wednesday. The decision was made after seven more tigers suspected to have the virus died at Sriracha Tiger Zoo in central Chonburi province. The deaths of 23 other tigers were announced on Tuesday.
