Dairy cattle in Nevada have been infected with a new type of bird flu that’s different from the version that has spread in U.S. herds since last year, Agriculture Department officials said Wednesday.
The detection indicates that distinct forms of the virus known as Type A H5N1 have spilled over from wild birds into cattle at least twice. Experts said it raises new questions about wider spread and the difficulty of controlling infections in animals and the people who work closely with them.
“I always thought one bird-to-cow transmission was a very rare event. Seems that may not be the case,” said Richard Webby, an influenza expert at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Good luck now that you’ve said that. You’re going to be savaged by a certain type of vegan in PM. I was spammed by one this morning and I didn’t even mention animal products recently as far as I know.
(There are decent vegans, but then there are the asshole type who feel like they can berate and harass people into veganism.)
I feel a bit bad for the normal vegans actually because they likely want to avoid even mentioning it do to the other type.
I do too. There are plenty of decent vegans who are afraid to even open their mouths and make gentle suggestions.
I treat the militant vegans exactly like I treat MAGAs. i.e. I completely ignore them when they start their bullshit.
true enough of many of bullshit. Its like when you have to start writing paragraphs because of the stupidity of the arguments. I had that this morning where someone wanted to bring actions in war as an example of a lack of dignity. Well duh. Name me a dignified war. So I was like. Ok. Yeah not taking this bait.
Oh yeah, getting told that you rape cows
I was once told that I was participating in “bee slavery” by consuming honey.
Because, you know, bees wouldn’t make honey unless we enslaved them to do so.
Trade offer: I provide you with housing in exchange for some of your honey
Hell, as a human I’ll take that deal. When can I move in?
My partner keeps saying we can’t get a beehive, I think a humanhive would be asking for too much.
