H5N1 Bird Flu Claims 20 Big Cats at Wild Felid Advocacy Center in Shelton, Washington
Dec 25, 2024, 11:07 PM
The Wild Felid Advocacy Center in Shelton, Washington, has reported the deaths of 20 big cats due to a bird flu outbreak. The affected species include African servals, cougars, bobcats, and a Bengal-Amur tiger. The outbreak began around Thanksgiving and has led to a temporary closure of the sanctuary to the public. Workers at the facility are devastated by the rapid loss, which occurred over a matter of days. The center is now preparing for cleanup and further measures to address the situation. This incident highlights the vulnerability of wild felines to avian influenza, particularly the H5N1 strain.
