Bird flu is spreading rapidly in Europe, with the highest number of countries in at least a decade reporting early outbreaks, raising concerns about a repeat of past crises that led to the culling of tens of million birds and higher food prices.
The spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, is a concern for governments and the poultry industry due to the devastation it can cause to flocks, the possibility of trade restrictions and a risk of a new pandemic.
The disease, mainly spread by migrating wild birds, caused 56 outbreaks in 10 EU countries and Britain from August to mid-October, mostly in Poland – the top EU poultry producer – Spain and Germany, France’s animal health surveillance body ESA said.
“maily spread by migrating birds” or maybe mainly spread in those giants murderhouses where there are thousands of them
It came from wild birds, they are likely to shit where the chickens, ducks, geese are houser spreading the disease. Plus.unlike the farm animals the wild birds can fly to other places to infect more poultry
Has someone tried reminding the birds that it’s just the flu and they should get their lazy asses back to work?
It’s in the US too, they just aren’t testing because of the shutdown and deregulation.
Make the headlines when I need to worry about it
