Animal welfare advocates say a bird flu outbreak at a mink farm in Utah was largely left unaddressed, accusing the facility of letting infected animals suffer and die rather than intervening. The claims have renewed scrutiny of biosecurity and oversight at fur farms, where mink are considered a species at risk of hosting and potentially mutating avian influenza viruses.
