Hundreds Of Cows Infected As Sides Of Roads Littered With Rotting Carcasses In California
Daily Caller ^ | 10/22/24 | John Oyewale

Posted on 10/23/2024 4:21:36 AM PDT by CFW

A video recently emerged showing several cows lying dead on roadsides in California’s Central Valley amid an avian influenza outbreak across the U.S., sparking biosafety concerns.

The dead cows were close together with swarms of flies buzzing around them, video shows. Dr. Crystal Heath, a veterinary doctor with the Berkeley, California-based nonprofit Our Honor, took the video Oct. 8 and shared it on Twitter on Oct. 17. The dead livestock were in front of Mendonsa Farms and Land O’Lakes Borges Dairy, both in Tulare County, Heath said. There were no visible warning signs of potential biosafety risk that the exposed carcasses posed to the public at the time, Heath added.

The USDA, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CDC and state veterinary and public health officials are all investigating the outbreak. CDC staff are on the ground in California to try to stem the spread, the CDC said.

What even is California anymore? It looks more like what I expect of Mexico than from one of the largest states in the US.

Isn’t this from the opening chapter of Steven King’s “The Stand”?

I hope they find Newscum by the side of the road from bird flu.

The canary in the coal mine....

““[D]isturbingly, the first sign that a facility is infected is when the barn cats die after drinking the avian influenza-infected milk,” Heath said in the video.”

Need more cats!

I was thinking of that scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind... but I think those may have been sheep.

Yup!

Where are the pictures of the “dead” cows?

Maybe we could ask Devin Nunes or Victor Davis Hanson.

They live down that way!

Unless my phone didn’t download pictures…there aren’t any. This story would be more than photo worthy

This is being spread by the ChiComs with the APPROVAL of the deep state. Because meat bad for erf.

However much I hate the globalist progressive deep state, I don’t hate them enough. Evil bastards.

So true. Where ARE the pictures of the dead cows? A picture could have been taken from a distance if they were worried about offending someone’s sensibilities.

This apparently happened a week ago so one would think pictures would be all over social media and front pages of corporate news. The news loves fear-mongering stories. I haven’t heard anything until seeing this article.

Correction to my post above. The death of the cows was on October 8th, over 2 weeks ago.

so far, no actual pics of dead cows piled up beside roadsides ... the video in the post showed the same three dead cows from a couple of different angles AT A DAIRY FARM, but no piles of dead cows beside roadsides ...
