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."
