I am so disconnected from any form of farming that I don't comprehend what it could do again to our livestock industry. I can visually see fires to burn the dead cattle and I can see figures like "£8.5 billion", but I can't guess what it is like to lose your cattle.
What does get to me however is that if it was the Pirbright Laboratory at fault, that's some serious scare-story for me. The idea that a biohazard could have left a lab unknown to them is pretty worrying; at which point I am 'glad' it wasn't a human form of a disease. This is why I hate biochemistry, it's so difficult to control what you are doing and once it is in your body, you never know what it can do.
This is presumptious; I hope it is nothing to do with Pirbright.
Any thoughts?
