Big cats die of bird flu

Twenty big cats, including a Bengal tiger, four cougars, a lynx and four bobcats, have died after contracting bird flu at an animal sanctuary in Shelton, Washington.

The big cat deaths come as bird flu, a highly pathogenic avian influenza, has spread rapidly through poultry flocks and dairy herds in the US, infected and killed domestic cats, and caused a severe illness in a person in Louisiana.

The big cats died between late November and mid-December at the Wild Felid Advocacy Center, according to the center’s director, Mark Mathews.

“We’ve never had anything like it; they usually die basically of old age,” Mathews told the New York Times. “Not something like this, it’s a pretty wicked virus.”
