Letter to America

"Let's not start a health scare!" is a pretty reasonable statement, when huge industries shudder under the impact of Mad Cow.

We can all understand and sympathise with the sentiments.

But it is not reasonable in a capitalist society and can spark complete disaster.

Britain's livestock sector has been shattered by four successive animal health epidemics, two carrying suggestions of human health risk.

First, the big one – Mad Cow or BSE.

Then the hidden epidemic of PMWS/PDNS.

Then Swine Fever (CSF)

Finally Foot and Mouth (FMD).

Capitalism demands a free market with willing buyer and willing seller linked to an information system telling them what is happening in the world. Price sensitive news has to be available to all on an equal basis.

There is never an absolutely level playing field, of course, but we strive to make dealing fair. To do less opens the door to criminal activity and endangers a free society.

When government and the veterinary industries decide to hide up information on animal disease even for a few days, they open the door to crooks.

Crooks have ravaged and looted Britain. They have stolen hundreds of millions, perhaps billions of dollars under the guise of "Let's not start a health scare." They used the information, that they had colluded to deny to the rest, to make millions.

Don't let them break the Prairies and kill your farms on the wheel of confidentiality and secrecy.

Demand an explanation for every delay and a reason for every refusal to give information.

Britain failed to lock up the criminals including the senior British government veterinarians that rampaged through Britain intimidating, faking and lying as they went.

They are still out there telling America what you should do and what you should believe.

Treat their advice with the contempt it deserves.
