California wildlife experts recently confirmed that an adult bobcat died from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1, marking the first detection of the virus in a wild mammal in the state. The bobcat's remains were collected in Butte County and tested for the disease. It was wearing a GPS collar as part of a study by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The HPAI H5N1 virus was first detected in wild birds in California last year and has since been found in birds from 44 counties and domestic birds from 18 counties. Waterfowl and domestic poultry are especially vulnerable to the disease.
Advertisement Although the Centers for Disease Control considers the risk of transmission to people to be low, they recommend basic protective measures if contact with wildlife cannot be avoided. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife advises against handling or housing sick wildlife and encourages people to report dead wildlife using their mortality reporting form.
The Wildlife Health Laboratory will continue to monitor wildlife and investigate mortality events. To stay informed about the situation, please visit the CDFW website or contact your local CDFW Regional Office or animal control service.

“First Case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Detected in Wild Bobcat in California”
Wouldn’t that make it a Highly Pathogenic Bobcat Influenza?
The cause of death was confirmed by a PCR test, right?
Just like all those Covid cases. Just as its Nobel-winning inventor said it was inappropriate for.
Count me as unconvinced.
It’s just a matter of time before it *evolves* to be able to infect humans.
It was wearing a GPS collar as part of a study by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

So the Calif DFW had their hands on this poor Bobcat, right?
And they wanted to track it too.
And Butte Valley is in the Northern part of Calif, that pesky conservative area.
And they exploited a BOBcat, which I take personnaly!
Feline bird flu?
What next Migrant Flu?
catpuppy flu of course!
mRNA is not a vaccine. The regulatory definition was altered under CoVid to try to redefine it as a vaccine, but that is BS. A vaccine conveys DURABLE immunity to a pathogen and IS NOT a genetic modification.
OMG! And they’ll have laser beam eyes, fangs and claws! Head for the hills!
