International News: 300,000 chickens dead in Scotland due to bird flu outbreak

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: A bird flu outbreak in Scotland has left over 300,000 chickens dead, BBC reports.

The Government of Scotland says that the number of deaths of chickens in the country totalled 304,000.

“We are taking the issue of Avian Influenza very seriously and are keeping the situation under constant review,” the Government said.

“Practising high levels of biosecurity is a key component in protecting domestic poultry flocks and we would urge stakeholders to join us in promoting this important message,” it added.

This bird flu outbreak is the largest seen in the UK to date.

Earlier this year, the Government announced that it was setting up a taskforce to respond to bird flu.
