Dozens of cranes were found dead in the Hula valley; Fear of a violent bird flu - voila! tourism. "Unfortunately, it seems that the lessons from the previous outbreak are not being applied," says Nadav Israeli.
The Society for the Protection of Nature, this morning (Monday) appealed to the Minister of Agriculture, Avi Dichter, with a request to take responsibility for the incident and evacuate the carcasses of the dead cranes from the area. The fear is that the epidemic will increase to greater dimensions, similar to the winter of 2021-2022 and damage to the poultry industry, in the Upper Galilee.
