More than 10,000 dead birds, mostly seagulls and the protected kittiwake, have been found in the Vads\u00f8 area alone and the virus was also found in a young dead fox in Troms\u00f8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On Monday Civil Defense troops were called in<\/strong>&nbsp;to help collect and dispose of dead birds found along the coast and farther inland. Local officials have been sending out calls for help for weeks, and Agriculture Minister Sandra Borch of the Center Party responded on Tuesday with plans to visit the Vads\u00f8 area on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis situation demands attention also at the national level,\u201d Vads\u00f8 Mayor Wenche Pedersen of the Labour Party wrote in a letter to Borch on Monday. \u201cWe, therefore, repeat our invitation to come to Vads\u00f8 to see this wildlife tragedy that\u2019s unfolding here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pedersen was clearly frustrated by her own Labour-Center government for failing to offer more help earlier. Local officials are having to use major resources to clean up and try to prevent the spread of the virus. \u201cA small municipality can\u2019t take the responsibility alone when such a major challenge confronts us,\u201d Pedersen wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsinenglish.no\/2023\/07\/25\/bird-flu-threatens-norways-wildlife\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\" DTSBd sDDKl\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norway News Norway\u2019s northern regions of Finnmark and Troms are battling the largest outbreak of bird flu ever seen in the country.
