Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

A company based in Washington state is voluntarily recalling its frozen raw pet food for cats over concerns of it being contaminated with avian flu. The recall includes Wild Coast Raw's 16-ounce and 24-ounce frozen Boneless Free Range Chicken Formula, which was distributed to pet food retailers in Washington State and Oregon. The Washington State Department of Agriculture said multiple cats have been infected with the avian flu after consuming the food. One had to be euthanized. Officials have also encouraged pet owners not to give their animals raw milk because of the possible presence of the virus.

Time will tell ...

"As of 6 Jan 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the US since 2024 and 67 since 2022. A Louisiana man is the first person in the US who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the US, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the WHO; about half of those have resulted in death." Source: www.cdc.gov
