Bird flu has been on the rise in Washington state and one sanctuary was hit hard: 20 big cats – more than half of the facility’s population – died over the course of weeks.

The animals - including a Bengal tiger, cougars and bobcats - have died of the virus over the past several weeks.

Northwest Naturals is recalling a line of its pet food after authorities linked the death of a cat to a batch of food contaminated with bird flu.
