It was no doubt carried onto the farm by an infected "gas guzzling 4x4" that was speeding, driven by a muslim and carrying a load of patio heaters.

Exclamation


An assessment of biosecurity at the Institute for Animal Health in Pirbright is under way. The Pirbright institute, where research into foot-and-mouth is conducted, is located not far from the Surrey farm.
This is almost certain to be the source of the infection IMO.

sorry to be a cynic but watch this outbreak spiral completely out of control like last time and watch how ministers will say that lessons need to be learned and that a second outbreak in 6 years provides a great opportunity to learn even more lessons.

I honestly hope I'm wrong though.

'winning heart and minds' pass the sick bag


sorry people. I had a night on snake bite last night so a little moody today.
