  Efforts should be made to assist affected farms to at least recover cost. This will entice others to quickly report new cases so that it can be controlled

  A lion, a bear, and a chicken are sitting in the Forrest boasting. The lion shows all his teeth, and says "When i roar, everyone in five kilometers of me screams and runs away". The bear stands up and flexes his muscles and says "Thats nothing, all i have to do is growl and every body in 5km hides under the nearest thing they can find." Then the chicken stands up and says "Thats nothing, all i have to do is cough or sneeze and the whole world shits itself"

  Hi, Please can anyone, with access to government, pass this to Min. of Agric. to help coordinate action (orgs.) on Bird Flu? Thanks: ..Vetrinaries Without Borders, VSF Belgium (VSF-B) is a Belgian NGO, which is part of the consortium for the implementation of a project called REGIS-AG (USAID financing in Burkina Faso and Niger). This project, which itself is a component of the RISE initiative (Enhanced Resilience In the Sahel), aims among other things at boosting poultry value chain in both countries...
  . Unfortunately, since April, the virus of Bird influenza H5N1 officially reappeared in Burkina Faso. Since then, the authorities have already reported 38 affected homes in six regions. To date, there are over 220,000 dead or slaughtered birds. Including the direct losses - related mortality and stoppage of poultry at borders - and indirect - resulting from the loss of eggs for consumption - the total balance already stands at more than € 5.2 million...
  Faced with this crisis, the Government of Burkina Faso has initiated actions in collaboration with its technical and financial partners for the operationalization of a response plan. However, since the onset of the outbreak, the number of new homes is steadily increasing. This reflects the need for any active player in this sector to contribute to the mitigation of the crisis.

  I am a poultry farmer but do not expect any help from our government. They have never done so and will not do it. The last time they said they were going to support poultry farmers they gave the money to their friends who are not even farmers.
