Heartbreaking—3 snow leopards have died of #COVID19 at Lincoln Children’s Zoo in Nebraska (my childhood zoo growing up!!!). It follows the death of another snow leopard (a vulnerable species) at a South Dakota zoo last month. 😢 This is humanity’s fault.

2) I’m so gosh darn upset right now. Growing up in Lincoln Nebraska as a young child, I loved @LincolnZoo!!! Can’t believe COVID just killed 3 vulnerable animals there. lincolnzoo.org
3) Holy crap, 8 other snow leopards have also tested #COVID19 positive at St Louis zoo. This is getting out of control. stltoday.com/news/local/met…
4) Also super worrisome that one of the most common deer species has been deeply infected by #SARSCoV2… a big reservoir is problematic

5) Snow leopards are rare. But white tailed deer 🦌… they are EVERYWHERE. 80% infected by #SARSCoV2 would be hugely bad if it proliferated

6) Damn, vaccinated tigers 🐅 in San Diego get breakthroughs as well. sandiegouniontribune.com/local/story/20…
7) 2 tigers in Omaha Zoo now #COVID19 positive too. The zoo says the same animal handlers of the snow leopards also handle the tigers. Again, human fault. omaha.com/news/local/two…
