Coleen,

Protecting self-interest is to put it rather mildly. Even before virus testing was abandoned the regime favoured negative results.

Now that virus testing has been abandoned it will be virtually impossible to get a positive result from an animal that has been infected for less than five days.

The regime may have been changed purely through ignorance but the alternative (and more likely) explanation is so we can fraudulently claim disease free status.

If this is the case there is always the possibility a few scapegoats will be going to jail.

Bill.
