Originally from: Farmtalking It is interesting to note that Alex Donaldson says that as no scientific data was provided by Fred Brown and Roger Breeze to confirm their claims for the rapid diagnostic test they recommended, it's use was refused.

Discussion message Re: latest from warmwell.com on bird flu.

Originally from: coleen Hi Two cases (so they tell us) so far, and both times wrong information given. The Quarantine Centre in Essex (samples from Finches and Parrots muddled up) when asked – how this could happen Margaret Beckett had NO answer. Heavens, what would happen if they were swamped with tests? Then the Swan who changed species and was probably washed ashore from another Country – so they would have us believe.

Discussion message Re: Cull of wild goats

Originally from: mark purdey Hi Colleen, Your message did not come out on my computer ( another good examples of the hiccoughs /​ unreliability of cyberspace !! ) over the cull of wild goats. Sounds to be important though disturbing news , and would guess that its another DEFRA scheme to annihilate the wild goat herd due to a BSE risk !! sick if it is.

Discussion message Re: British Cattle Movement - CTS On-Line

Originally from: mark purdey But who created this grievance in the first instance ???? Did I initiate this problem?. It is the fastidiousness of BCMS splitting hairs over the late arrival (by just one day ) of one calf passport application. The late arrival was caused by my application being in the post for five days. One of the BCMS ladies had actually volunteered this information to me – so she had clearly witnessed this for herself.

Discussion message Re: Today''s Newcastle Journal

Originally from: coleen I am sure I'm not alone in knowing people who made a small fortune in the clean up process. Some people even started their own little business here in Cumbria to meet the needs… what about the staff who gave up office jobs (from within Maff as it was then ) because they were going to be paid more money at Great Orton for killing sheep – healthy sheep at that (then some would earn in a year).

Discussion message Experts baffled as scrapie resistan strain of sheep suddenly succumb to scrapie

Originally from: mark purdey Hi folks Since BSE and other TSEs first hit the headlines in the 1980s, a whole history book of ' unexpected' results has arisen at every juncture of this unsavoury man made crisis. Each one has seriously rocked the boat of credibility surrounding the official infectious theory.

Discussion message Re: RE: I STRESS THIS IS RUMOUR ONLY

Originally from: Peter Greenhill Yes we confirm this story is inaccurate and that Orf was detected. Mind you, during the FMD disaster of 2001, Defra would not have allowed a proper investigation and hundreds of healthy animals would have been butchered. Of such cases, the worst was the identification of FMD by a Spanish vet (already famous for her lack of English and the question about Herdwick sheep "what sort of goats are these?).

Discussion message The Stench That Still Hangs Over Foot and Mouth

Originally from: John http:/​/​www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/​displayNode.jsp?nodeId=79373&command=displayContent&sourceNode=78925&contentPK=9156537 There was a sickening smell from the foot and mouth epidemic when it was at its height in the early Spring of 2001. It was the pervasive stomach-wrenching stench of thousands of animals being burnt on pyres and of hundreds of thousands more, rotting in fields and farmyards.

Discussion message RE: Vets worried ?

Originally from: Farmtalking I don't think self-regulation has broken down in the RCVS actually, it only seems to have done so to some of us who had horrendous experiences during FMD and hoped for some retribution which was not forthcoming under the circumstances.

Discussion message Re: Re: BSE/Scrapie files

Originally from: coleen I tried and tried throughout fmd to get serious debate going on various newsgroup (not Shetland sheep as we did not own them then). If some of you remember I sent emails to many a newsgroup message board when the new SI was about to be dropped on us. I got people from several of these groups emailing smartgroups and reporting me for sending 'spam' as well as many many private abusive emails.
