animal welfare advocates

Animal welfare advocates say a bird flu outbreak at a mink farm in Utah was left largely unchecked, accusing those responsible of allowing infected animals to 'watch them die' rather than intervening. The outbreak raises concerns about disease control on fur farms and the potential risk of avian influenza spreading or mutating in mammal populations. Critics are calling for stricter oversight of mink farming operations.
