@ann_mcnitt They give the leftover milk to pigs???? Isn’t that how … 😳 Oh no … 😟

@KeeshkaBonham Cats. Small homestead farmers will give leftover milk to pigs, if they have them.

@ann_mcnitt But how did the cows get it? Did they give them cat milk?

@skymelilemyks Dairy cows very often in open-sided barns for good ventilation, and the feed is poured in a line along the outside edges of the barn. Infected migrating ducks/geese poop as they fly, and the poop can be transferred in a variety of ways across those eating lanes--rain, etc.

@ann_mcnitt Referring to this?

@Ikat0 Not to the account of 40 cats, but to the three cat deaths in the article.

@ann_mcnitt

@stop_fossil_fue Argh.

@ann_mcnitt @RolandBakerIII

@ann_mcnitt And the dogs and the pigs where available. And some of that milk quietly ends up, unpasteurized, in someone's kitchen.

@ann_mcnitt UGH. I don't know what's more unsettling: picturing the poor cows and cats getting it from birds, or thinking through the consequences of a concentrated virus in the milk. 😥

@ann_mcnitt I hope they've been testing the mice, too.

@ann_mcnitt My uncle owns a commercial dairy in CA. I know they've always used their own raw milk and cream. I assume even if it doesn't come from the equipment, people put down their milk bowls for cats all the time.

@ann_mcnitt Possible but not definitive Could be airborne to cats catching mice & rats in sheds Could be airborne to rats then eaten by cats Etc etc

@ann_mcnitt How many injections will you hypochondriacs be partaking in with the latest election infection?

@ann_mcnitt Farmers kids still often drink unpasteurized milk.

@ann_mcnitt Also, some of the cows let down their milk before it's their turn; enter, cats.

@ann_mcnitt Frequent occurrence no doubt.

@ann_mcnitt Thanks, Annie💕

@ann_mcnitt We used to squirt milk directly into cats mouths as they wait for it..😁🤣😂and into a pan..
