In a tragic incident, more than a dozen tigers at Vuon Xoai Zoo succumbed to H5N1 bird flu. Their rapid decline was alarming, highlighting the virus's lethal potential.
The zoo manager Nguyen Ba Phuc noted that the tigers developed severe weakness, refused food, and died just two days after showing illness, raising concerns about the virus's aggressiveness.
Health officials linked the tigers' deaths to the consumption of raw chicken from local farms, underscoring the risks of zoonotic diseases and the consequences of animal husbandry practices.
The recent uptick in H5N1 cases across various species, from felines to birds, signifies a disturbing trend that could pose risks not only to animals but also to human health.
