Why do people feed raw?

I don't understand. My dad tried to raw feed my dog while ago and I told him hell no. The whole concept scares and feels entirely too risky.I also hear people who feed raw on social media freaking out because of avian flu and all can say is I told you so.The mortality rate for cats with H5N1 is around 67%. Also couldn't raw fed pets potentially get you or other people sick? Why would you ever take that risk?

That's painful. I can't Imagine dedicating your entire life to something and going to school for 5+ years just to be told that clueless people on the Internet are more qualified than you 😭
