Flesh-Eating Parasite Threatens Adoption Process For Thousands Of Animals

Thousands of cats and dogs may not get adopted and could be at risk of being euthanized because of the New World screwworm. The flesh-eating parasite has crossed into the U.S. from Mexico for the first time in 60 years. It threatens the $113 billion U.S. beef industry, and has prompted officials to halt cattle movement across the border. Because screwworm can also infect pets, animal movement from affected areas of Texas has been restricted. Inside Edition Digital has more.
