Oregon Man Sues Pet Food Company for Allegedly Killing His Cats With Bird Flu

A man of Oregon sued the Wild Coast Pet Food after he died of his cat bird flu this week. The case has been alleged that the company has confused customers when it sells raw chicken cats as healthy, potential risks, such as H5N-1—-Food, fail to recognize as possible death as possible death.

The case filed by Team Hanson only sought compensation below $ 8,000 that includes the compensation of veterinarian bills and legal fees, according to CTVB 7 Hanson in Oregon took his cat Kira in 2021 and told the news outlet that he usually feed his cat raw food that killed his cat because “I believe in its health benefits.” Hanson believes that health benefits can come from raw chicken is not completely clear.

Hanson told KTVB 7 that he bought the Wild Coast Pet Food Brand Cat Food in January, but one day he stopped eating in early February. Hanson told the news outlet that he brought him to the veterinarian on February 7, and a few days later the tests confirmed that Kira had a bird flu flu. Kira was so ill he had to be ethanized on February 9.

The Wild Coast, located in Washington, has issued a recovery for cats for raw pet food for raw food foods of the 16 oz and 24 oz frozen boneless free ranges. The food was sold in Washington and Oregon.

Warning from Rickle posted on the FDA website:

People who feed the pets to recover pets should be monitored for the symptoms of bird flu in their pets, which include fever, laziness, low appetite, reddish or swollen eyes, discharge from the eyes and nose, difficulty in breathing, trembling body movement, lack of coordination, or blindness. After feeding this product, people who show these signs with pets should contact their veterinarian.

The spread of bird flu has become destructive for many cat owners, as they seem to be the most sensitive to H5N1 among the outer domestic animals of the bird. Many cats from New York to Oregon have been documented that have died from the disease and there are probably many more deaths that cannot be detected.

No one in the United States has infected bird flu from eating food, at least the health authority could say. However, it appears that the cats are getting it from taking raw food. US health agencies have tested both milk and beef, and both are safe for human use, even as long as the milk is pasteurized and the beef is cooked at least medium, the presence of bird flu is safe.

There is no evidence of human-human-human spread in the flu flu in the United States, but there is concern that any transformation can happen. One of the Americans has been the 70 cases of Documentsed H5N1 with death. One of these cases has been tied to dairy cattle, 24 poultry farms have been identified, two cases came from the backyard and wild birds, and three cases are still unknown sources.

The Wild Coast did not answer the questions emailed on Friday. Gizmodo will update this post if we listen back.
