write a letter to the editor on bird flu
Answers
Answer:
Respected sir, Date,
place.
Sir — Five epidemics in two years is testimony enough that all is not well with Indian poultry (“Tough-nut bird flu hits, speed holds the key”, Jan 16). The reason why the avian epidemic keeps hitting the subcontinent is the laxity with which the virus is controlled in the first place. In almost all the earlier cases, it has been seen that the government response has been half-hearted and inadequate. By the time preventive action got under way, the virus had already evolved further and mutated to a stronger antibody. There can be very simple explanations for the virus spreading to what the experts term ‘backyard poultry’. Either the sick birds did not show any perceivable symptoms of the disease and were thus allowed to mix with healthy birds or, very obviously, the sick birds were not culled. It is essential that the government holds awareness campaigns for villagers owning backyard poultries.
Yours faithfully,
