I saw a news story on this on a local channel where I live and wanted to post an article about it.

How about we feed liberals with cat feces to protect those poor, cute sea otters?

“Chain of cat feces” = terrible name for a punk band.

“Chain of cat feces” can’t be good for anyone.

if you continue from cats to looking at every disease carried by birds and wild animals...distributed in their waste and carcases you wind up a Howard Hughes type basket case before you go very far.

Life is challenging.

The info contained in this article is mostly standard parasitology textbook material on the Toxoplasma parasite. It is rather rare that Taxoplasmosis causes serious disease in humans, and in those instances it's usually in patients with compromised immune systems or in infants who get infected from their mother via transmission through the placenta.

It should be emphasized that the cute house cats shown in the photo accompanying the posted article are very unlikely to be infected with the parasite; only about one percent of cats are infected. So cat owners in general shouldn't become overly up tight about this.

This is BS put out by NOAA and the communists at the Monterey Marine Sanctuary.

It is globalist garbage deigned to break the bonds of property rights into a million pieces so they won’t exist in this country anymore.

The basis of their claim is the watershed is more important than any man made boundary. If you allow your pet to ‘go’ outdoors then you are harming the watershed, and so your right to your own property is superseded by their need to control you.

By controlling you they can enforce new building and health codes on you, which can force you off your property by expense, or they can tax you, kind of like the impervious surface tax going around some counties to punish you if you have too much concrete or asphalt, in their view, in your landscape.

Its nothing but another globalist attack on YOU!

I'm not entirely sure we can trust the objectivity of the source...
