your cat is a vector for CoronaV

This seems to have killed another thread, so I'll ask again. Poll.
The cat you're unwittingly dripping virus all over while it sits purring on your lap, is a vector for transmission to any cat loving neighbours that might pet it when it visits their garden.
How would you pet keepers react if the government, realising that cats, and dogs, were vectors for transmission, ordered the destruction of all such pets.
Edit Poll meant to read "take my pooch".

I'd just set them free in the woods with 1000 pounds of food near a stream and water source with a cave, to live out their lives and form a new society of forsaken human animals.
To become TRUE cat's again.
Not some domesticated whores to the human pimp pet owners.

I voted stal because your hypothesis assumes cats and dogs are vectors for COVID 19. Is there any scientific literature that confirms this? If it were true, and, if my animal were infected by me, why not just see if it makes it through? Would the government require me to put it down? I don't know, man. I think my response would be specific to a multitude of variables.

I don't need no stinking "scientific literature" I use logic. A dog maybe less so, but the cat that is kissed, cuddled and generally slathered with virus, by an as yet undiagnosed carrier, is a potential vector of transmition to an unsuspecting neighbour. It doesn't need to be infected to act as a vector, contaminated is enough. Unless you think that cats furr somehow acts as an antiviral.

How long does the virus survive on the fur? Are we also assuming the animal could not be quarantined for some unknown reason? Again, more questions.

How long is a piece of string. How long does it take for your (edit. contaminated) cat to jump from your lap to get to a cat friendly neighbour?
Do you quarantine your cat after you've petted it on your lap?

Nah, I say let the pets live. There's no reason to kill them.
Edit: This is the second post in the last week I've responded to that relates to COVID, and which more or less gives an ultimatum about killing other life forms. At least we are not talking about killing humans in this thread, unlike the other one. But I do understand why you would ask this question, especially if you are a pet owner.

Yeah. Never mind the dozen old folk along the road that your pet visits for a stroke and a treat eh.

Absurd. It's easy to quarantine a pet.

I think telling people to keep their cats inside if they are infected would go farther in reducing exposure than developing, maintaining and training a group of door to door cat euthanizers.

This will not prevent me from petting the wild cat out behind my work. I'm the only person it will let pet anyway :p

Probably, but who is telling people to quarantine their cat's. Nonone that I've heard so far has even mentioned it in passing.

Absurd. It's easy to quarantine a pet.
What is absurd is how you can so dramatically miss the fekin point! If you don't know that you are infected, assuming you have heard that people can carry this virus without showing any sign of it, they won't be thinking of quarantining their fekin cats!
