A sanctuary in Washington state has been devastated by a recent outbreak of bird flu, resulting in the deaths of 20 big cats, more than half of the facility's population. The Wild Felid Advocacy Center of Washington, located in Shelton, announced the tragic news on Facebook, revealing that the first death occurred around Thanksgiving.
The affected animals include five African Servals, four bobcats, four cougars, two Canada Lynxes, one Amur-Bengal tiger mix, and other species of big cats. The center's director expressed his shock and sorrow, emphasizing that the situation has been a nightmare for the sanctuary.
