I understand the concerns in the USA, but where I live, burd flu seems to be pretty much a non-problem for now because of very strict controla and low volume of aviary farming.
you do you mate. but honestly chiming in as if the rest of the world shouldn't keep their cats inside is silly when the concerns - predation - and spreading bird flu around are actual genuine issues.
no one can make you care. doesn't mean I won't keep spreading the word so others benefit from the knowledge.
edit: lemmy, you're turning into reddit. someone says they want to help people protect their pets and stop spreading disease and you downvote because you're so fucking selfish you'd rather silence dissent than let people spread information that may save a loved pet or their family members.
you're fucked in the head.
