Bird flu kills 20 big cats at Washington sanctuary; center seeks donations to stay afloat.

A bird flu outbreak at the Wild Felid Advocacy Center in Washington has led to the death of 20 big cats, including tigers, cougars, and lynxes. The sanctuary, now under quarantine, is implementing strict health measures and has disposed of 8,000 pounds of potentially contaminated food. With mounting medical costs and potential loss of income, the center is appealing to the community for donations to support the remaining 17 cats and continue operations.
