The basic reason is that our living standard and health consciousness are different. We are not equipped mentally and physically to rigorously enforce compliance and safety standards. |
The dead birds are being sent to market to be sold as meat... because people are not sure if the government will assist them. |
They say why do you trust these guys? Up to now, what have they done? The key to curbing this problem is for people to know their livelihoods are safe. If that's not done, people won't report. |
We have 30 farms that have been affected, and we're still counting. |
We have been calling for the vaccine right from the beginning. We can't keep waiting for the government. |
We, the farmers, believe that if this problem was identified on another person's farm, not a minister's farm, as you speak to me now, nothing would have been done. Generally in Africa, governments think they are doing their people a favor to do anything for them. They only respond to what is affecting them personally. |
