This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, so much for eating beef in Europe.
The Vermont sheep were to be dissolved in lye, if I remember right. Does that work? I gather incineration doesn't either. As to F&M...I've wondered why they do not vaccinate in a circle around the infected areas...and permanently mark those animals. Let them live out their lives, but require them to stay on their original premises and be disposed of properly. Seems that might stop the spread without the long term loss of the status. It sounds like they are contemplating something like this...particularly to try to preserve the rare breeds. Has anyone confirmed the "live in the nostrils" theory via the CDC website or...?

No dissinfecting agents will touch it Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
