You prob don't want to know what i have to say about this but i'm gonna tell ya ayway.

HORSERADISH!!!!

Cows are scary and evil!

Why do they have to burn all the infected cows? Can't they just cut their feet and mouths off?

I love the way that every time a new disease comes in, like foot and mouth and the Bird flu, all the scientists and newspapers shit their pants over it, and then nothing actually happens.

I can remember in 2005 that all the tabloids were publishing articles from scientists saying we are all going to die. According the the Mirror, we should have all been dead last year...

Journalists write articles, that's the problem.

Why is it not 'Hoof and Mouth'?

Just a thought.

Because unless they live near Sellafield pigs tend to have trotters :roll:

That's a very simplistic view from someone seemingly intelligent!

This incident will already have cost thousands of people millions of pounds through lost income. The 2001 episode was disastrous and saw alot of people go out of business. Imagine having your life's work destroyed because of an infection on a farm hundreds of miles away.

Ask them whether they think "nothing actually happens"

I mean death wise. People go crazy and yes people do lose money, but in the end, there is no big ecidemic.

And most journalists are fame-hungry whores with little or no morals. I spent a week shadowing two journalists for the Press Association last year. I witnessed first hand some of the tactics and techniques they employed where shocking. At best they mislead, at worst they lie.

That was when I decided I would rather not go into the world of journalism. It's far more satisfying to satirise, and be critical, of the mass media news machine than to actually be part of it's mostly shallow, lazy and often deceitful subversiveness.

Thousands of cows were slaughtered due to the 2001 F&M outbreak.

I have it on good authority that cows are evil.

A friends, sisters brothers cousins boyfriends sisters boyfriend. Who lives in the stix in Cumbria on the borders says the cows there are wild and will attack. All the more reason they should end up in a big mac.

I knew cows were mad. i just knew it. My fears wern't irrational afterall.

Mind you i'd be pissed off if i was allowed to graze at leisure in the country to then be led to an abbatoir to have a bolt shot between my eyes.

If i come back as a fresian, i'm gonna be a bullemic one. The less meat on my bones the less likely i'll end up in a bun.
