      Idk I am worried about the phrasing “the city took possession.” Most cities don’t have their own dangerous lab bio cleanup experts.

      Edit: I bothered to click and it was the county health dept that took samples and stuff, glad it wasn’t the sheriff lol

        Risky reply in this case. Took me a second to realize you weren’t agreeing with the one you replied to. Guessing that’s why you’re currently downvoted.

        I merely pointed out that some random person in a comment section doesn’t outweigh the knowledge of people who do it for a living.

        Your comment is just douchey bullshit.

          Douchey bullshit because yours has the same tone. I work with various government systems; they’re held together by tape and hopes, and I know this because I’m one of the people tasked with using said tape.

          There may very well be protocols in place for this kind of thing, but protocols are rarely adhered to very firmly, because everyone believes that someone has a clue of what they’re doing.

          Both of your comments are tbh. I don’t get the sarcasm out of the blue, it just ends up fuelling a nonsense feud.

          doesn’t outweigh the knowledge of people

          Rather, you suggested the people were infallible and beyond reproach… Those aren’t the same things. Oversights happen. Mistakes are made.

      Do you think the group that found this were professionals at infectious disease control? My fear was a county inspector took the animals without realizing the severity of the situation.
