Another raw pet food found to have H5N1 virus

They again will not say if it is the dairy virus only that it is "bird
flu" and that it has infected cats.

If you go to the pet food web site you find out that beef, chicken and
deer are in the food. It would seem nuts that anyone would feed their
animals raw chicken meat when Salmonella is so common among chickens.
It is routinely found in chicken processed for human consumption, and
everyone should know that they need to wash their hands and utensils
after dealing with raw chicken, and that it needs to be cooked thoroughly.

This also means that the virus is likely in the meat supply because the
cattle bones likely came from commercial processors. Dairy cattle that
go out of production or that are cycled out of the herd due to their age
go to mostly hamburger. This is a California pet food company and over
70% of the dairy herds in California are known to be infected.

Cats are particularly in danger because it is a neurological infection
that infects their brains. If that was happening with the Dairy
workers, all the infected herds would have been detected long ago after
the first human fatalities. Cats were known to die of the infection
with the first infected herds in Texas in March, and the first infected
human was detected in the same month, but humans infected by the dairy
virus have always had mild symptoms.

Thanks in part to your posts, I have been following the poor
performance of various agencies against the spread of these viruses. I
noticed that only recently have mainstream news outlets begun to
mention this in dribs and drabs. Did this country spend all that
money and effort against Covid just to learn nothing from it?

The previous thread on human testing has a tenured associate professor
claiming that it looks like the CDC learned nothing from the Covid
pandemic. I would contend that the CDC learned the wrong lessons from
Covid. They learned to keep their heads stuck up the political assholes
and make the stupid decisions that an ignorant public could ignore in
order to not be targets for political retribution.
