from my vet: <<<Last outbreak in US was in 1929, in Canada in 1951-52 (that
one was well
documented, it was brought in from Europe in a sausage that got fed to some
pigs - immediate control and containment and eradication but it is still
talked about for the mass slaughtering that had to be done). Mexico
1946-54.>>>
www.news.bbc.co.uk/ is a UK news site which is profiling the disease.
discretion is something I could afford when I lived in an apartment. now
that I farm, I'd rather be safe than have my animals destroyed because I
didn't want to be accused of over-reacting to a very serious disease and
attendant far-reaching implications. my first responsibility is to my
animals. there are farm families facing the possibility they will go under
and lose everything they have worked their entire lives to build. I don't
want that kind of heartache to spread and I certainly don't want to
experience it.
