Scientists issue warning over virus spreading across UK animal species

A virus that is potentially deadly to many species is reportedly spreading across the UK. Scientists have warned that otters, foxes, dolphins and seals are at risk from bird flu.

Restrictions to prevent the spread of bird flu were lifted just days ago to allow free-range eggs to return to supermarket shelves. Bird keepers across the nation have been required to keep flocks indoors since November to reduce the spread of avian influenza.

As reported by The Mirror, supermarkets were forced to limit the number of eggs customers could buy. However, due to higher energy bills and increased costs of chicken feed and packaging, producers have cut back on output.
