Ahighly contagious strain of bird flu has been detected in three grizzly bears in Montana, the first time the disease has been found in grizzlies.
The three bears tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in fall 2022, and were found to be suffering from neurological issues, including disorientation and partial blindness, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) said in a January 17 statement...
...Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows that as of January 11, over 57 million poultry across the U.S. were infected by HPAI, most of which have died or been culled, while nearly 6,000 wild birds had tested positive as of January 12. This outbreak is one of the largest in history, and is partly responsible for soaring egg prices....

I'm no bear expert but who's ever seen a bear fly?
"It was very sad to see the animal (was) not going to recover," Kimberlee Beckmen, a wildlife veterinarian for Alaska's Department of Fish and Game, told Alaska Public Media in November 2022.
Then again...
/grizzly humor
That has to be one of the most tortured titles for an article I have ever seen.
For the life of me, Reading it, I simply could not discern what the article was likely to be about.
Agreed
That is one. Horrible headline.
Definitely needed editing. Strange.
Has anyone asked what Fauci funded lab did HPAI escape from?
If you watch GOF conference videos on Youtube from 2014, you get ask questions.
Questions like, Why have only 572 watched this in the last 9 years?
Or IS Bio security level 3 - AG ACTUALLY “just as good as” Bio Security level 4? Because actual scientists debating it don’t think it is.
shouldn’t those bears be wearing masks?
CDC probably infecting Grizzly bears with something. Maybe a new “zombie” virus to use on us next. Just like in the movies. /sarc I am joking, I think. But maybe not. The ghouls at the CDC have no scruples.
Last modified yesterday.
No mention of bears.
Go figure.
But there are vaxx studies ongoing, aren’t there...
This is Newsweak. Wow. Their editing is no better than what you might find in a teen magazine, if that.
I would have worded it: “Montana Grizzly Bears killed due to strange behavior caused by highly pathogenic virus.”
Granted, it is three extra words, and I know brevity is a quality stressed by Strunk and White in their “Elements of Style” guide, but...that strikes me as being penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Can’t be murdering “charismatic mega-fauna” like Grizzly Bears. Gotta edit that out!
Indeed. For those who cannot write, commas can be a friend.
Sick Bears Slain
Seems like whoever could write the article could take the time to write a better headline. Maybe the headline came from ChatGpt.
Here we go again...
Uncle Lar would call this “intermingling of the species.” But not quite the same context.
That's the wrong question.
Maybe it was AI pursuant to continuing the narrative.
(AI’s still learning how to write)
