Original: Veterinary Experts Condemn Dangerously Lax Response to H5N1 Outbreak at Utah Mink Farm
Veterinary experts are criticizing the official response to an H5N1 bird flu outbreak at a mink farm in Utah, calling it dangerously lax. Animal welfare groups including the Center for a Humane Economy and Animal Wellness Action are highlighting concerns that weak containment measures at mink operations could allow the virus to adapt and spread, given past worries about mink as a potential bridge host for avian influenza to mammals and humans.
