#Cat Death Losses Due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in #SouthDakota

Updated January 13, 2025

"#Veterinarians and laboratory diagnosticians are fielding reports of death losses in cat populations linked to avian influenza infections.

"Beginning in 2022, an #H5N1 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza (abbreviated as HPAI) virus caused death losses in domestic turkeys and chickens in South Dakota and elsewhere in the United States, an outbreak that continues. The HPAI virus causes respiratory and multiple organ failure in affected birds, typically appearing as increased numbers of dead birds in large commercial operations, as well as smaller backyard flocks. Deaths in wild birds, typically migrating waterfowl but also other bird species, have been observed at the same time, as well as spillover of the virus into mammals, such as raccoons, foxes, skunks, and other species.

"In Spring 2024, the HPAI virus began infecting #DairyCows, causing drops in milk production and other signs of illness. Unlike infections in other species, widespread death losses have not been associated with HPAI infections in dairy cows.

"About the same time as its emergence in dairy cows, the HPAI virus was implicated in deaths of domestic cats in the vicinity of affected farms. Most affected cats showed #neurologic signs, such as #tremors or #seizures, for a short period of time before dying.

"Since that time, three cases of substantial death losses in groups of outdoor domestic cats in South Dakota have been described. In each of these cases, there has been no apparent link to dairy cows, other livestock, or domestic poultry."

Ghost Town Okaton South Dakota in BW

Four guys from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, went to the South Dakota badlands for an early spring adventure. On our way out to the Bad Lands of South Dakota, Barry convinced us to stop off at Okaton, SD which is a ghost town.

Barry did the research ahead of time to see where the ghost towns will be in a 50 mile radius of our planned destinations.

Barry enjoyed this place a ton. I must say It was fascinating.

Okaton, South Dakota, is a small, abandoned ghost town located along U.S. Highway 14 in Jones County. Once a thriving railroad stop in the early 20th century, the town slowly declined as rail travel diminished and agriculture became less sustainable in the area. Today, Okaton is a fascinating roadside attraction for travelers seeking a glimpse into the past.

The town features a collection of weathered, decaying buildings, including an old general store, a schoolhouse, abandoned homes, and rusting farm equipment scattered across the landscape. Faded signs and peeling paint give the town an eerie, time-frozen atmosphere.

#Indigenous ppl in #SouthDakota, #NorthDakota & #Montana are 1/4 of the prison population, despite being less than 1/10 of statewide populations. Nationally, Native youth are incarcerated at a higher rate than Hispanic, Asian, and white people combined. 🧵

A #SouthDakota tribe banned Gov. #KristiNoem from a reservation over her #USMexicoBorder remarks

By TRISHA AHMED

"A South Dakota tribe has banned Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from the #PineRidgeReservation after she spoke this week about wanting to send #RazorWire and security personnel to #Texas to help deter immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and also said cartels are infiltrating the state’s reservations.

“'Due to the safety of the #Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the #OglalaSioux Tribe!” Tribe President #FrankStarComesOut said in a Friday statement addressed to Noem. “Oyate” is a word for people or nation.

"#StarComesOut accused Noem of trying to use the border issue to help get former U.S. President Donald Trump re-elected and boost her chances of becoming his running mate.

"Many of those arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border are #IndigenousPeople from places like #ElSalvador, #Guatemala and #Mexico who come 'in search of jobs and a better life,' the tribal leader added.

"'They don’t need to be put in cages, separated from their children like during the Trump Administration, or be cut up by razor wire furnished by, of all places, South Dakota,' he said.

"Star Comes Out also addressed #Noem’s remarks in the speech to lawmakers Wednesday in which she said a gang calling itself the Ghost Dancers is murdering people on the Pine Ridge Reservation and is affiliated with border-crossing cartels that use South Dakota reservations to spread drugs throughout the Midwest.

"Star Comes Out said he took deep offense at her reference, saying the #GhostDance is one of the Oglala Sioux’s “most sacred ceremonies,' 'was used with blatant disrespect and is insulting to our Oyate.'"

This seems like an act of revenge on the part of #KristiNoem because some of the tribes in South Dakota have banned her from their lands. Personally, I think the faculty members have a good case for violation of #FreeSpeech...

#Pronouns and #TribalAffiliations are now forbidden in #SouthDakota public university employee emails

"The policy is billed by the board as a simple branding and communications policy. It came only months after Republican Gov. Kristi Noem sent a letter to the regents that railed against '#liberal ideologies' on college campuses and called for the board to ban #DragShows on campus and 'remove all references to preferred pronouns in school materials,' among other things."

"A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping #NativeAmerican employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes.

"Two University of South Dakota faculty members, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw and her husband, John Little, have long included their gender pronouns and tribal affiliations in their work email signature blocks. But both received written warnings from the university in March that doing so violated a policy adopted in December by the South Dakota Board of Regents.

"'I was told that I had 5 days to remove my tribal affiliation and pronouns,' Little said in an email to The Associated Press. 'I believe the exact wording was that I had ‘5 days to correct the behavior.’ If my tribal affiliation and pronouns were not removed after the 5 days, then administrators would meet and make a decision whether I would be suspended (with or without pay) and/or immediately terminated.'"

Today in Labor History June 17, 1876: U.S. army soldiers attacked an encampment of Lakota and Cheyenne in Rosebud, South Dakota. Led by Crazy Horse, the native warriors routed the Americans. The Cheyenne called it the Battle Where the Girl Saved Her Brother because the fight involved Buffalo Calf Road Woman, who courageously road out into the middle of the battle, grabbed her brother, and carried him to safety. The area had been promised to the tribes through treaties, signed after they had won previous battles. However, when gold was discovered in the Black Hills, the U.S. government wanted the land. Buffalo Calf Road Woman also fought at Little Bighorn, alongside her husband, Black Coyote. She was the one who struck the blow that knocked Custer off his horse, resulting in his death.
