The uproar in Holland was because we did not like what
happened. At first we were taken by surprise, but very
soon after that when things got clear to what they
were planning to do, farmers and vets refused to
cooperate. The breaking point game when they wanted to
destroy Zoo animals also that almost caused a civil
war. Strangely enough our so called FMD outbreak was
pretty soon over after that.

Remember the uproar created when they did that in
Holland?
The vets all said they would not be party to that
again and the people and farmers demonstrated
against it in horror.

Holland had agreed it would never happen again in
their country.

But it did happen again, this time with chickens. If
the Dutch had not reacted the way they did by hiding a
very large amount 80 thousand chickens all over
Holland all the rare breeds would have been destroyed
in that area. So you see we did learn something, we
learned to go against those rules and like the second
world war we found a way to do that. Nothing to do
with our government, a lot to do with sane people
refusing the destruction of animals.

Why did they do it? To regain their FMD Free Status
quickly.

To regain a FMD free status that would not have been
gone if our government had been honest. The FMD crisis
was a lie in Holland.

If any of us seriously think that in the event of an
FMD outbreak they would vaccinate and then
slaughter, here in the UK or indeed anywhere else in
Europe, perhaps it's time to write and ask them if
only to prove me wrong!

I for one still believe that in the event of an
outbreak they will slaughter again. I also believe
that this will go on until the people say NO we have
had enough of this. So yes i think they will vaccinate
but destroy after that. I hope i am wrong but i don't
think so. And neither do others.
