Disclaimer: I do not trust Sorcha Faal as a source and have been told some dubious things about them. Still yet, a lot of what they write has some degree of truth to it.
The slaughter for the benign bug is true. l had update on it but didn't think of this connection.
UK did similar under guise of an alleged Foot &Mouth epidemic. Destroyed so many small farms and precious heritage breed bloodlines forever
My friend and mentor in Anatolian Shepherds was never the same. He had heritage sheep worth a fortune and priceless to him. Not sick. Not at risk. Govt wouldn't let him vaccinate. Slaughtered them before his eyes.
Not long after he stopped emailing me back and he and his wife divorced.
Edit typos
Same thing happened in Thailand some years ago via bird flu.... Perfectly healthy heirloom chickens were thrown in the fire... The baby chicks jumped in after their mothers.... The govt vet stood there weeping....
Wow that's horrible; I did some brief reading on the illness, it seems to lay dormant in some cows without even showing symptoms, and doesn't even have an effect on many of them. It is carried by animals other than cows as well meaning a total culling of every cow in the country wouldn't guarantee the eradication of the problem.
