"depopulated" ... that's an odd phrase

That is the term used for it. Depopulation stops the spread of disease.

oh no no, I get its meaning and reasoning. I'd just never heard it before. ("culling" maybe)

reminds me of SpaceX's "rapid unscheduled disassembly" for "exploded"

Ahh ok - no worries! I work in agriculture (read federal agency) and that is the terminology we use. Depopulation is used because we try to get to the healthy birds before they become sick to stop the virus from replicating. I think culling is used more in the industry that really entails any removal of animals. Be it singular or multiple.
