Now that the Covid vaccine has been sufficiently tested on humans, it’s time to give it to zoo animals.
Panthers and otters need protection from the deadly coronavirus too.
ZooTampa has begun to vaccinate animals, including threatened and endangered species, that are susceptible to COVID-19.
The zoo will administer a vaccine developed just for animals and made by veterinary pharmaceutical company Zoetis. The Michigan-based company is donating the vaccines, which are in use at zoos throughout the country.
…
Species such as Florida panthers, skunks, otters and primates top the list for vaccination. ZooTampa received a shipment of approximately 220 doses, enough to vaccinate roughly 19 species and a total of 93 animals.
ZooTampa is one of about 70 zoos, research institutions and sanctuaries working with Zoetis in administering the vaccines.
Among the primates on display at ZooTampa is the endangered Bornean orangutan. Another primate, a western lowland gorilla, tested positive for COVID-19 at the Kansas City Zoo, showing symptoms such as coughing on Sept. 25, the zoo reported. The zoo’s troop of six gorillas were presumed to have come down with the virus and were undergoing treatment.
From the videos I’ve seen, animals really don’t seem to like getting vaxed. They always resist, as if they instinctively know something bad is being done to them.
This is in sharp contrast to white people, who willingly line up en masse to get their Fauci ouchies – and still continue to line up even when one of them gets an ouchie that’s a bit too Fauci to handle.
It’s kind of humiliating that all members of the animal kingdom (including blacks) are so much smarter than modern-day whites.
