I still find it amazing the the UK government are applying the same (Kill
all that moves) policy as was applied in 1967 despite the problem being
totally systemically different. It just beggars belief, but then again ....
As this issues is as you have rightly said economic and not animal I can see
the flawed logic to what is happening, sadly many livelihoods will be
destroyed before this madness ends. It is surprising that our approach in
killing all potential animals that may contract the virus also denies us the
opportunity to breed from animals who may actually have some genetic
resistance to F&M.
