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.
Haha I’m in danger.
You can say it as a joke, but Ive got dairy cows...
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.)
Condolences.
Never been happier to be a vegetarian incapable of processing milk.
Edit: to be clear, I’m poking fun at your upcoming bankruptcy over a simple dinner of milk steak and jellybeans.
Pasteurization is done for a reason.
That won't make it any cheaper when it follows the price of eggs
It's tragic that people have already killed their cats with raw milk (and some cat food), apparently. I'm sure Brainworms will be looking out for everyone's pets, too....
Being able to eat meat doesn't mean you have to. Something that (perhaps slightly irrationally) annoys me about some people. They act as if a meal requires meat and then complain at how expensive food is to buy. Laughs in omnivore £15/week each diet. But by not being actually vegetarian I can still have things like Worcestershire sauce too.
Yeah and its annoying the vegans that are so militant they discourage meat reduction in diets. Beef is so much worse (both health and environment) than most other meats that getting a large amount of folks to give up or massively reduce beef consumption is way better than a much smaller number becoming vegan.
I have to have whole milk and other dairy as part of my nutritional regimen as worked out by a professional dietician, so I'm glad I'm not in America right now.
Depression diet is coming and meat won't be on the menu.
You won't be laughing when it crosses over to the soybeans!
Don’t worry folks! Trumps and Muskie are putting the best people in charge. Just the best. We’re all going to be fine.
These are woke DEI cows! We’re going to put a stop to regulations and vaccines! Bird flu is far left radical fake news. We’re gonna put tariffs on the farmers, and force white women to marry incels and have babies in response. This will surely fix things.
Nothing to worry about here, folks!
I'm sure donvict has things well in hand with the likes of Brainworms running things. And I'm sure whoever Kamala would have put in would have been just as bad, because I keep hearing they are the same.
Good thing beef was already so cheap
We need to figure out a way to turn beef into eggs so all the culled cows can make egg prices lower... 🤔
Haha, we're fucked. Can I get a George Bush second plane meme?
Please stop animal agriculture.
This strain has a reservoir in wild birds
Caused by animal agriculture. It jumps to wild humans too....because of animal agriculture
But I really hate sitting in a tree stand in the winter
