Did anyone read the article in Fridays Daily Mirror? (March 2) On page 9 there was an article suggesting that Animal Rights Extremists could be behind the Foot & Mouth crisis!
Ministry of Agriculture investigators were looking into the possibility of activists having planted the disease in some way in a crazy attempt at disrediting farming practises; saying that these extremists could consider the slaughter of thousands of animals a 'small price to pay'!
'Min of Ag' officials believe "it is too early to rule the possibility that terrorists are behind this" and a Ministry source went on to say that "Many people in the department think it is no coincidence that farming has suffered swine fever and foot and mouth outbreaks within nine months after years and years of healthy herds."
It has been mentioned numerous times on various forums that the above was/is a possibility - it seems we are not alone?????
