Bird flu / grippe aviaire at Christmas

Grippe aviaire, two new cases have been detected in the Dordogne. A friend who is near a duck farm says she feels really sorry for her neighbours who were coming up to their most profitable time of the year and then it was discovered some of the birds had flu. All have now to be killed and burnt, strict regulations in the village no visitors, shoes  and boots washed on leaving. This particular friend is very near the farm and has cats. She has decided to keep the cats in as it is now known that cats can pick up the flu.
