Are the cats starving because there are no prey animals left due to their lousy predator management and in their weakened state caught the flu, or did having the flu cause them to starve to death. I wonder which makes a more exciting headline

If you died in this state in a car accident and tested positive for covid with a test that was designed to give false positives after numerous searches, you were classified as a covid death. I suspect since bird flu is the new covid scare that any dead cougar that is tested with a questionable test would be classified as dying from bird flu.

I don’t know. There were massive die offs of sea lions and elephant seals in South America due to avian influenza and it’s now definitely panzootic. Seems to be pretty rough on humans when they get it too but rare. Might be a little early to be celebrating a disease that can jump species and be transported so easily.

Maybe this is the answer to our Sea Lion and Seal problem around here? The steelhead and salmon sure would appreciate it.
