I've recently wondered if the plot of Animal Farm is coming to fruition. Think about it. All these new diseases seem to stem from ones typically only prevelant in the animal kingdom. Maybe they had a meeting or something and decided to get us in this manner. Monkeypox, Triple Equine, West Nile it's no accident I tell you. Keep an eye on your pets, you don't know who the Animals have gotten to. Rover may still be harboring some anger from the whole "stay off the sofa" incident. Bob the cat may still be pissed from the whole neutering episode.
Watch your backs I tell you.
