I think my point is, and maybe I should have pointed this out, is that these animals seem to spend a period of time in captivity in close proximity to humans. I know little of biology, but in a 'flu season in a moist warm dwelling, a caged wild animal (with probably a depressed will to live)in close proximity to humans would seem to be ideal laboratory conditions to develop species jumping 'flu strains. Not the animals that remain in the wild, though I suppose they could carry it eventually.
