[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 395004, member: 4353"] I worked in the UK at the time of the foot and mouth outbreak, the ministry of agriculture also took the same approach in culling every animal and those of neighbouring farms (often clean). To see how herds often older than a century being gunned down is sickening when a more sensible approach could have saved lifes of thousands of animals, the livelihoods of thousands of farmers and billions of Pounds of the tax payers money. At the height of it all they couldn't dispose of the carcasses quickly enough and it ended up rotting in open ditches causing many more health risks. At the same time the Netherlands also had an outbreak, they culled positive animals and vaccinated all the others, retesting and culling as neccesary. They have long forgotten about F&M when the UK was still struggling to clean up. [/QUOTE]
