There's no such thing as a cure for stupidity...
Only if the media wants to play dumb...
Serves him right for trying to deny that poor cat a last meal.
Bubonic plague did not exist in western America until introduced by ship into San Francisco in the late 19th century.
The Federal Government and the State of California had a window of opportunity to eradicate the disease, as it was isolated on the San Francisco peninsula. They screwed up monumentally.
So today the plague has found a vast reservoir in the rodent and rabbit population throughout the western states.
Pity.
This story has rabid moonbat all over it. While I don’t wish the plague on anybody, it is best to leave the natural food chain alone.
“The unidentified man in his 50s became ill several days after being bitten when he tried to get a mouse out of the mouth of a stray cat”
Yeah. That’s exactly what you want to do with an injured or wounded animal. Pick it up. Because they’re all appreciative of your efforts—just like the Disney movies have taught you.
What a dork.
I'd avoid that guy like the plague.
“I don’t want to go on the cart.”
They take the dead cat to the CDC, and then bite the guy on the hand. I guess this puts an end to the TOM AND JERRY cartoons.
I am still wondering WHY he was trying to get the mouse out of the cats mouth. When something good is happening you should leave things alone.
Why the hell would someone take any food out of the mouth of an animal? Dumbass.
the plague is found in rodents in the mountain states. If you work on the Navajo or neighboring reservations as a doc, it is one of the diseases you think of when someone has a sore lymph node or a rash and high fever.
Nothing new here: the miracle is that docs recognize it. I’ve never seen a case...
