Maybe one of our brighter newscasters misheard hoof & mouth to be foot & mouth.<br>The only animal that can contact "hoof and mouth" disease is a animal that has cloven hoofs. These animals do not have "foots" they have hoofs. I think the Brits call the disease "foot and mouth"<br>

Foot and Mouth is a term more commonly used in Britian and Europe.... so I'm told.
