Dogs appear less susceptible to the current H5N1 strain, though this could evolve.</p><p>"Cats who are most at risk include those who:</p><p> - Consume unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry<br> - Are exposed to sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl like geese and ducks<br> - Come in contact with poultry or dairy cows on farms or in backyard flocks and those in contact with infected people or animals</p><p>"You can limit the risk of exposure and infection by keeping cats indoors or in enclosed '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/catios" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catios</span></a>.' Also, avoid feeding unpasteurized dairy products or raw or undercooked poultry (chicken, turkey and duck). This includes raw diets. Prevent your cats from coming in contact with sick or deceased wild birds, particularly waterfowl such as geese and ducks, and prevent contact with dairy cows or poultry.</p><p>"Monitor your cat for signs of H5N1 infection, which include coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, trouble breathing, lethargy, disorientation, trouble walking and sudden onset of severe disease or death without prior signs of illness or injury.</p><p>"One last note: Experts’ understanding of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>H5N1</span></a> avian influenza is continually evolving and recommendations may change as we learn more.

Jeff Pummill<p><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/ASPCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASPCA</span></a> should really rethink both its message and its mission. While donating to feed starving animals is admirable, it’s a band-aid for the core issue! What is being done to stop animal abuse and cruelty? Do they aggressively pursue puppy mills? Hoarding situations? Do they actively advocate for animal rights at Federal, State, and Local levels?</p><p>Treat the disease…</p>
Crystal_Fish_Caves<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://beige.party/@farah" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>farah</span></a></span> when I was in high school, they showed the foreign language students films about other countries. When they showed Spain, the closing of the film was a fucking BULL FIGHT which is no fight at all just slow animal torture by some ponce dancing around in a ridiculous outfit and finally stabbing the exhausted bleeding animal with a sword.</p><p>The lights came up and I was a mess of tears. In a room full of 60 students, I was the only one. It was then I realized I was not human.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ASPCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASPCA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/PETA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PETA</span></a></p>
Wallyapplebee 🌈 ☀️🌵<p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ediefalco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ediefalco</span></a> presents a very compelling case to donate to <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/aspca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aspca</span></a> but can she answer a few questions from CBS reports? “ASPCA spending may not be what donors expect, CBS News investigation finds”. (Google the article). Shame, shame, shame, seems very little of your donation goes to help animals. Instead, know what your donation funds and do what you can to support your local shelter.</p>

The investigation also discovered that during the same time period the ASPCA spent nearly three times as much, at least $421 million, on fundraising costs.</p>
Democracy Matters :verified:<p>CharityWatch, an organization that rates how well non-profits follow through on their promises to donors, gives the ASPCA a mediocre, “C.” </p><p>And with a rating like that, I’m confused why ASPCA’s CEO Matthew Bershadker received an annual salary of $800,000 in 2017 and $770,000 in 2018, while they make me watch suffering dogs and cats every night on television. </p><p>Maybe Matthew Bershadker should pledge fucking $12 per month. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ASPCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASPCA</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GradeC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GradeC</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SaveAnimals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveAnimals</span></a></p>

Wallyapplebee 🌈 ☀️🌵<p>I’m all about caring for animals, and I give to rescue shelters, but lately I’ve noticed big push on tv for <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ASPCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASPCA</span></a> solicitations, so I looked up to see it’s rating as a charity to see if worthy of donation - 3 star is an ok rating, but CEO makes $852K per year and with bonus over $1M - so <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ASPCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASPCA</span></a> needs nearly 5,000 of us to donate $19 per month for a year just to pay their CEO’s salary, maybe I’m wrong to question?</p>
