Cats pose a threat
In Jim Schlosser's column Feb. 21 [not posted], I noticed that he mentioned, "A bunch of feral cats lives at the corner of Hughes and Lyndon streets, a block from the newspaper."
CBS News reported Feb. 21 that bird flu might cause as many as 40 million deaths, if I heard correctly. On Sept. 3, 2004, the News & Record printed an article by The Associated Press stating that cats could carry bird flu.
Isn't it only right that the News & Record should inform the public very soon on the front page of this possible catastrophe and, perhaps, get feral cats off the streets as is stipulated by Guilford County ordinance 5-7 "Animals running at large prohibited"? It might someday save a few human lives.
