I’m guessing, but it’s probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?

Were they ever made with lead? Sounds like a bad choice for something that goes in an oven, since lead has such a low melting point. Not that I know anything, just pontificating.
Not true. Pet cats are about a third of the problem, according to a 2013 nature paper. Feral populations vary a lot by location - some places have almost no ferals but lots of pet cats.
Have you tried not using it to wash your dog?
The Pope is the infallible word of God - Catholicism isn’t a democracy. And religion is all about what should be instead of what is, so there shouldn’t be any precedence for being practical. Letting gay people be murdered so the church might splinter doesn’t seem like a fair trade. He sounds like a coward for either not taking a stand for gay people, or for just doing this to get some press in more liberal outlets.
I should say I’m nowhere near unbiased - my perspective is that religious belief is a mental illness and Catholicism has enabled genocide from its inception to today.
This is such a non-news. “pope says God still hates gay marriage.” Catholics are still wrong.
Sounds like new discoveries from the same folks
Peggy, from the movie desperate living.
Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.
More generally, they weren’t doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper’s publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.
tl;dr: it’s an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.
