      You have to wonder if PETA or the VEGANs got ahold of the feed line. I say that because there are NO reports of bird flu from Washington States mink farms who control their own feed sources. That's where you want to be monitoring, not an animal rescue operation:
      Brick Road Fur Farm:
      Marr Mink Farm:
      Rodriguez Ranch:
      Moore Quality Ranch:
      Beck's Mink Farm:
      Miller's Mink Ranch:
      Obviously they won't want to be interviewed on camera to alert the PETA eco-Terroirists.

    The suppliers of poultry for human consumption provide the conditions for these diseases to spread throughout their farms, contaminating our food supply. There is yet another huge avian flu epidemic going on (expect egg and poultry prices to go up again). Three humans have died from avian flu so far this season. Most likely our poultry supply is contaminated with avian flu, and that is how these cat caught it.

    Thanks youtube. Why'd you have to suggest this? I watch cozy and happy things here. Half a decade later and here's the new Pand/emic. Been quietly following it all year and hoping for the best. The images of seals and penguins and birds on other side of the world from US were heartbreaking. I recall when I saw news segment about Lynx cats getting it. Things got so much worse after that and c0vid nearly killed me. I was a young and healthy gal who did everything right. But my roommate lied and brought it into the house with her and her friends. You can see that sanctuary does everything right. Wholly unscientific comment, but covid made the news in the first big way with Washington State infections. This feels the same.

      But that’s how viruses and other illnesses travel. In the start, there are just random cases. Then, an animal in a large facility gets it through food transmission or even a person carrying it on the bottom of their shoes. Then the whole facility is affected. Mean time there is an incubation period where you don’t even know anything is wrong.
      UNTIL animals start getting sick. By that time transmission has spread to homes too.

      Humans need to have contact or eat infected animal products. I assume the big cats weren't tame enough for people to touch. Wild animals get it from eating dead birds and cows get it from eating feed or water contaminated by bird poop. Stray cats have died from drinking milk from sick cows. Seagulls were dying in Norway July 2023. The last time we had a spike in egg prices it was because of bird flu. Dairy workers are getting sick because of contact with cows/milk.
