Thousands of birds dying from lethal strain of avian flu in UK [video]

Summary:

This report looks at the impact of avian flu on wild birds around the coast of Scotland.

- It is believed avian flu emerged from industrial poultry farming from East Asia about 25 years ago.

- In farmed poultry there are some measures like vaccination and security to control avian flu. It has now spilled into wild birds where it cannot be controlled.

- Over 70 million infected poultry has been culled globally recently.

The bleak summary at the end of the video report:

"Our unquenchable thirst desire for cheap chicken now threaten whole species of seabirds globally. And may yet threaten us."
