OK, question here. Friend in the UK says that if foot-and-mouth is found in
an area or on a facility, the Army kills ALL animals on the scene, even if it
would be a fancy English riding stable. Horses and all get the chop. Given
that they are not susceptible, but can only carry it physically, meaning they
could be quarantined or disinfected, this seems unreasonable. Of course, in
the UK, they don't own guns and could not offer resistance to the soldiers,
as we could here under such circumstances. Anyone know for sure what the
practice is here and in the UK to deal with such a situation. I could see a
major uprising if a stable owner was told his whole herd was to be killed
over a disease they can't even get. Comments? Merek
