Foot & MouthHas been discovered on a farm near Gilford, Surrrey

I've just heard. Its a nightmare. How long will it take for the farmers to be ruined this time? How long will it be before the mass precautionary slaughters start? On a more graver note, as happened to a family friend of ours, how long will it take before the farmers take a loaded shotgun to themselves as happened in many cases last time. Its lively hoods destroyed, farms that have been built up for generations ruined, peoples lives just torn apart. I wonder if it will be handled in such a shambles was as previously. |

I know very little about cattle farming, but my understanding is that much of Europe/US vaccinates against foot and mouth . . . so why does the UK kill 1000s of cattle rather than vaccinating? It bothered me the last time round, and I'm sure the argument is more complex, both medically and logistically but surely that's the most sensible solution??? |
