A curfow has been reintroduced in two counties and 37 municipalities in Eastern Norway due to bird flu findings in wild birds. Despite the Norwegian Food Safety Authority's promise to lift or reduce the curfow if the infection decreases, it remains in place.

This is an insult to animals and pet owners. Thousands of birds have been trapped in the summer heat, having first ...
