[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Hoof and Mouth - attn Brits

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

I thought Hoof and Mouth was fatal.  My major exposure to it was in the
great Paul Newman movie "Hud" -- where his family's entire herd was
slaughtered by the government health Nazis, allowing no-good son Paul to
sell the ranch out from under his Daddy for the oil rights.

Foot and mouth barely affects animals.  *There is no crisis
whatsoever* ... it is just MAFF getting uppitty.

Foot and mouth is no worse for animals than a bad cold for humans.
They recover after about two weeks.  If we just sit tight and let it
blow over, it'll be fine.  The problem is that having had f&m, milk
and meat yields from affected herds decline dramatically.  The reason
we are slaughtering all our livestock is therefore primarily
economic.  It would not be profitable to sell recovered meat after
the disease has died down because there would be a bit less of it -
ergo this means Arch Commissar Grand Fuhrer Blair (ldr. Puppet Govt.
of GW Bush & Country) seems to think we need to destroy everything.
It is ridiculous, it has gotten completely out of hand.  There is
nothing to worry about.

Just my two things.
