I know this subject has been raised before, but last time it drifted off track, I'm talking about the increasingly popular Foot and Mouth disease.

The Bristish Isles has been turned into a great big fucking bonfire of cadavers. Everytime I check out the BBC there are new outbreaks on each and every corner of the map.

A farm gets infected, every farm within a few miles radius has to kill their stock. Yet it still spreads like wildfire.

There are innoculations against this disease available, but they are illegal. Why? Because they can't tell the difference between infected beef and innoculated beef, was one reason given.

The old school farmers say that Foot and Mouth has always been a going concern, bonfires not.

Now they are talking about economic depression as a result from all this palava.

I smell a rat, two weeks before this outbreak there was an article on the television about meat prices being too low.

What pisses me off supremely is that the local zoo is forbidden by law to innoculate their animals against this one.

Someone please explain this one for me.

Cow out number humans 2 to 1 in my neighborhood. The FDA inspector drives up in his truck get out in the middle of a pen or field to do visual inspections, then gets back in his truck and goes to the next farm.
At the Zoo when you go from one animals areainto another you have to stand in a pool of disinfectant before you can enter an area.
Besides no one prepares for possible problems only impending ones.
