Dutch bird flu experience |
![]() |
While the bird flu virus even takes human lives in Asia, the BBC Scotland wants to check out how the Dutch successfully managed to fight the disease in 2003. The Dutch poultry farmers are terrified that Bird flu will pop up again. A Dutch bird flu specialist and adviser of the European commission gives his view on the matter and a virus specialist gives insight in the dangers for humans. A poultry farmer that was one of the first that saw all his chickens die in a few hours explains what it meant for him and his family. A new outbreak of bird flu will definitely mean bankruptcy for many Dutch farmers.
