    "cases of H5N1 spreading in mammalian populations"
    This suggests mammal-to-mammal transmission. It should be noted that research regarding the seals does not support this: "Data do not support seal-to-seal transmission as a primary route of infection."

    The cause are probably bird excrement infecting the seals individually through the fecal-oral route.
    Mammal-to-mammal transmission seems much more likely on the fur farms but hasn't been proven beyond doubt.
