This is real life folks. This has to happen every time there is a pet involved with an Ebola case.
Have we all forgotten that it is ANIMALS that are the carriers that start Ebola outbreaks in humans in the first place?
And while I feel really bad about the dog I absolutely refuse on every level to allow myself to advocate saving a pet when a human being’s life (or many human beings) might be at any nonzero risk of catching Ebola by letting that pet live.
That’s hard, but it’s necessary.
Do YOU want to be the one living with the consequences when three months later four more people die because of the dog that you thought was ‘ok’?
There is nothing good about any of this. Not a thing. Not until it’s over.
Bushmeat is probably the biggest reason for the Ebola epidemic in humans from what I’ve read over the last few years.
