Charlie i did not say it was non-existent, just not as prevalent as you like to make out and no reason to keep your animals held captive inyour homes when it is more natural for them to be allowed outside. thankfully most 'brits' are not in a stranglehold of paranoia as you yanks seem tobe about the dangers lurking touside their homes and so happily allow their animals outside. |

From Bookie:

Not in my neighborhood- no terrorists, no earthquakes, no crazed knifemen, arsonists- I do walk around with my eyes open and was not allowed to cross a street by myself until I was 9 years old. (We do have cars, and who knows, maybe some sickos, too.) You live in the UK? I was there for a week years ago and from what I remember they did have traffic. Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

That the disease is in the population, uncontrolled? I haven't heard of this, and I live in California. What part of CA, by the way? JOyce Plague is endemic in the rodent population in California and a good part of the American west. Every year there are a few human cases; in a really bad year, there are a dozen or so, and one or two deaths. Cats that hunt rodents in the plague-endemic areas are at risk themselves, and at risk for bringing it into human populations. Bubonic plague is usually not a big deal if it's identified quickly, because it responds well to a whole range of antibiotics. If one of these little local outbreaks of bubonic plague converts to pneumonic plague, though, we'll have a bigger prolem because it will spread much faster. Lis |

But the post to which you are referring consists of news items, i.e., factual reporting of real events. I have a view of this subject that is based on information and experience. You have a view that is based on wishful thinking and willful blindness. How you take care of your own cats is your business, but I will continue to object as long as you make a policy of advising other cat owners that it's OK to let their beloved pets roam the countryside.
