© weixin.qq.comA woman in China is devastated after her three cats owned were killed after being diagnosed with the coronavirus.
The cats belong to a confirmed Covid-19 patient living in northeast China's Harbin. The woman, surnamed Liu, contracted coronavirus on September 21 and was admitted to the hospital, leaving her cats at home with ample food and water, and community workers helped care for them, The Beijing News reported.
On Monday, she received a notice from the community workers that her cats had tested positive for the virus.
"Because there was no prior example of treating the cats, they want to euthanise the cats and wanted me to give them a written authorisation, I did not agree," she said, adding that she wanted them to receive treatment.
© weixin.qq.comVeterinarians have said the risk of cat to human transmission is very low.
"If the environment is positive, then she cannot move back and the whole residential area could not move back, the outbreak will never end," the worker said.
On Tuesday night, the cats were put down, The Beijing News reported.
"I never wanted to blame anyone, I just wanted to find them a chance to stay alive, but that chance was never given," Liu wrote on Weibo on Tuesday night.
This case generated public controversy. Some supported the termination, saying it's for the greater good.

Basically they need to be dead, and there's a great book I own 101 uses for a dead cat...lots of swell drawings too!
Are there any critters which don't naturally consume other things? You sure have your PC approved list of problems with cats.

And I'm not quite as hateful of cats as you seem to be (though I dunno if you're just joking).
See back in my days, cats were engineered as a vector to control a parasite species (you may have heard of them referred to as humans). But it worked too well, now the idiot humans have domesticated cats meaning there are FAR too many cats.
So really, the problem is simply people. Possessive idiots, for instance, who want to "own" pets.
This is what sunday preaching should be all about.
That part, there. "Their owners..." See that, as usual is the ACTUAL problem. Possessive people who are deluded enough to believe they "own" animals.
I have super bad news regarding what owns humans now.
Perfect sunday sermon sort of music to fit the mood for the evocation.

There is an “invasion” of spotted lanterflies in Central Park and people are being encouraged to kill them as they’re allegedly an invasive species. I tend to think that animals and any “damage” they can cause should be paid close attention to to understand “why” instead of controlling and exterminating, as animals are doing what’s natural.
ANYONE comes for my birds, they WILL have to kill me first.
They are ALL I have left. I am barely hanging on as is, they are my light. Threaten them, I won't give 2 shits anymore.
It is difficult to make the word 'evil' sound seriously derogatory today because so many people have shown themselves to be 'evil' and expect the rest of us to accept it as a new normal.
Who would have thought that the state of California would become the new Israel in these vax wars?!?
Are there any rental trucks left in California or have they all been used to move frantic families to 'red' states?
Cat Flu is not actually caused by the influenza virus, unlike the flu that humans get. Humans can't get cat flu and cats cannot catch human colds or influenza viruses. Cats can only become infected from other cats and occasionally other animals
It is my understanding there is no flu vaccine for cats, but there is one for canine influenza, and also bovine influenza and I think equine influenza. I should imagine it's a profitable market.
So another propaganda hit piece.

Are we gonna vaccinate ALL the mammals?
I doubt it.
All those countries, tried to "stop" the common cold, tried to keep it from spreading -- all those countries are apparently run by stupid bureaucrats who can't see an effing bat eating the mosquito on their arm when it is happening in front of their effed up ego bloated clogged up brain. Well, them countries gonna have to suffer apparently. Cause we all catch the common cold - if not, it would not be common and let me tell you this - no stopping it. Moreover, a vaccination just makes things worse.
So how about we let our bodies do their thing and defend against this well known virus and then we can commence the Grand Jury Investigations in earnest. How about that - that might give some of the sinking Western country's, who thought they had good ideas, a fighting chance.
So effing stupid I can't believe it!
