And how long do you think the CDC will be running under our new administration.

Stop keeping animals in crowded spaces and don’t support factory farming practices. I’ve raised poultry and cattle in wide open areas for 20+years and never had an infectious disease issue. This is all from the environment created to mass produce and maximize profit over quality. Support small farmers who do things correctly and actually care about their livestock and crops

Imagine spending all your life in one spot. Cows being milked three times a day. Those animals never leave the barn.😢

Lol. Shoe bath. Meanwhile the dog just goes right in. Probably rolls in "it, " like dogs do ; then brings all that goodness right in masters house.

Too bad queen Donold and princess Elonia fired all of the people who prevent this sort of thing.

That’s not a dairy farm it’s a feed lot farm a bit disgusting

Bleach: they step into bleach and right back into the puddle that’s possibly contaminated?! 2:15

It's been there. You just haven't knowing what you've been treating sometimes and some veterinarians don't want to document it. That's why it's never been known to jump from birds to cattle
It's never been documented

The dog entered with stepping in bleach.

The H5N1 virus, initially identified in geese in southern China in 1996, has evolved and spread, causing outbreaks in poultry and wild birds, and leading to human infections, with the most recent outbreaks occurring in 2020 and beyond.

I wonder where the measles is coming from near New Mexico and Texas ?

If bird flu had been treated like the problem it was in the past and they jumped into action then, we wouldn't be here watching the dairy industry about to follow the egg market.

How does a human get bird flu now? I missed that part in the story.

[StamperWendy]

This is sad. The horse flu mutated and now dogs catch it, too.
