Comment Lasse Kylänpää lasse.kylanpaa@sss.fi Whose fault The flu virus, which kills wild birds, is even causing bird hatred in humans. The H5N1 virus was first detected in farmed geese in China in 1996. From there, it spread from one poultry farm to another in South-East Asia and also hit humans. The closer ducks, chickens, pigs and humans live to each other, the more ideal the breeding ground for virus mutations. In Finland, H5N1 has spread to fur farms. Over a million mink and arctic foxes have been crammed into cages in our country. In the wild, both mink and arctic fox are solitary crea-tures that shun their conspecifics outside the breeding season. The deeper into the wild we push to destroy the last habitats of wild animals, the greater the risk of new pandemics. Mankind is creating its own crises, trying to protect itself from nature when it should be protecting it.
