Deadly Virus Killing Animals In Europe

Deadly virus and these guys look like the are dressed for the beach....no masks..

I do not see any mosquitoes, do you? That is how, they say, it is transmitted.

They are making pink slime for hamburger additive for poor people.

What part of DEADLY did you miss?

Don't know what it is but let's just take some deep breaths and see what happens..

That is bad. I have always dreaded the flooding or really wet springs and summers as much as drought. The winter adds to its disastrous effect with huge snows. We have had this come in late 1998-1999 and after wards we had a boom in frogs. Yet there came raccoons where there was frogs and water the raccoons over populated the same as the frogs.

The raccoons wiped out the frogs yet our bats were already snuffed down to nearly gone. Then came rabies into the racoons. We had one scale tipping boom and bust after another in the wild life.

It effects a lot and even people. We had to get the forestry department to tackle the rabies. We were getting bitten and attacked even in broad open daylight by the raccoons...they had started what appeared to starve....then blammo they were insanely ill. Staggering back and forth walking sideways like a side winder snake. They would walk with their backs arched like a Halloween cat all the time they would walk like that.

I wound up having to stab one to get it off my cat. It had grabbed it around the rib cage and was dragging it off under the house.

When I got in touch with a trapper for traps and told him what was happening ...he told me not to kill or bleed them at all and no trapping of them. He contacted the forestry department.

We had flies and mosquitoes but in that time span we did not have this kind of viral epidemic like bird flu and such.

Wet can be disastrous long after the wet is under control...as bad if not worse than drought....in my opinion worse in the long run than drought.

Our animals were vaccinated for rabies but we humans were not....and from what I saw on this site about the bat now carrying the bird flu I thought to myself that is not good.

We have already lost so many other bats it is not god to think more will go into decline. This leaves our cattle and such that much more at risk of mosquitoes and such.
