Bluetongue outbreak causing deep distress among farmers
Original: Bluetongue outbreak 'really distressing for farmers'
An outbreak of bluetongue disease is described as 'really distressing for farmers', with livestock keepers facing the impact of the virus on their animals and livelihoods. Bluetongue, spread by biting midges, affects cattle and sheep and can force movement restrictions and animal losses. Farmers are voising alarm over the outbreak's toll on farms.
Why now: Farmers and rural communities are reacting to the spread of bluetongue disease and its impact on livestock.
