North Korea inoculates poultry against bird flu following outbreak in South Korea
This is a new article on South Korea that I found on the Internet in The International Herald Tribune (Asia-pacific). This article had no author, and was published on May 5, 2008. The purpose to this news article is to inform people about the current events in South Korea and it directed to adults, news agencies, business men, and scientists whose work is about “bird flu” and/or who is interested into the topic (bird flu, H5N1 virus, North/South Korea). The author of the article hasn’t shown any strong emotions, but is getting right to the point based on the topic, and is said in 3rd person, like what is shown in the text,
“South Korea has slaughtered about 6.5 million chickens, ducks and other poultry since early last month when bird flu broke out there for the first time in more than a year.”
There isn’t any like feeling to it, just that the author is being straight-forward about the topic.
“The North has intensified its quarantine efforts on poultry farms and ordered farmers to keep their poultry in pens to stop them from coming into contact with migratory birds, it said.”
It shows that the article is showing proof about the topic from different sources.
