*********************************************************Welcome to the FWi newsletter.
LEGAL ACTION over the government's failure to prevent the spread of
foot-and-mouth disease in 2001 has moved closer after a leaked document
was handed to FARMERS WEEKLY.The document contained an admission by a government vet that, if he had
made a more rigorous inspection of the farm where the outbreak started,
then the F&M "epidemic would never have come about".In his evidence to the Anderson Inquiry the vet, Jim Dring, admitted that
he had carried out an inspection of Burnside Farm, Northumberland, 10 days
before F&M was introduced.Mr Dring, now a DEFRA vet, wrote: "... at a time when illicit feeding
practices were clearly in train, and had been for some time, I inspected
this (sic) premises with a view to renewing the Waughs' Article 26
licence."To read the full article and for the rest of the latest news click on the
