IMHS hit by contagious ringworm fungus - The Flume

The Pine Junction-based Intermountain Humane Society was hit by ringworm among its cats, and that led to 23 cats being euthanized. Details in this week's Flume.

I for one would like to see this story now, too important to hold back.

The Flume normally publishes stories online on Friday. The paper arrives in your mailbox on Thursday.

Channel 7 also ran a story on this last night.

I work for an animal rescue group (since I was very young). I have not heard that anyone has killed cats that have ringworm. It is hard to eradicate ringworm but that is exactly what we do. I do not think it is right to euthanize a pet for being sick, unless it is suffering.
