Original: Veterinary Experts Condemn Dangerously Lax Response to H5N1 Outbreak at Utah Mink Farm
Veterinary experts and animal welfare groups are condemning the official response to an H5N1 bird flu outbreak at a mink farm in Utah, describing measures taken as dangerously lax. Critics warn that inadequate containment at fur farms could allow the virus to adapt to mammals and raise pandemic risks. They are calling for stricter biosecurity, faster culling and greater oversight of the mink farming industry.
Why now: Concern is growing that H5N1 spreading on mink farms could mutate and pose a threat to humans.
