6. You have to start with the mammal.

It's extremely rare that a well husbanded animal given proper space and treatment becomes infected with viruses. If they do they are typically culled from a herd. A lot are vaccinated as well. But transmission of bird flu virus to cows is growing rapidly, and several cases of human infection have been reported. None deadly at this point but who knows. But pasteurization does actually kill avian flu viruses in dairy products even from infected cows. Remember the 1918 flu epidemic that killed millions of people? That was caused by an avian virus, so it's not like we don't know how to prevent it from happening. There are no symptoms of bird flu virus in humans, just symptoms of the flu. Bird flu virus can cause nasty flu symptoms, especially respiratory ones, but hey guess what vaccinations are adjusted regularly to prevent the flu. Too bad so many people refuse to get vaccinated! That's far worse than the concern about someone getting sick from contaminated milk.
