Please submit sites dealing with foot and mouth disease of livestock. |
Starting in early February, 2001 there is a severe outbreak of this disease in Great Britain. Foot and Mouth Disease is also known as Hoof and Mouth Disease. It infects all cloven footed animals such as sheep, goats, cattle, swine, deer, elk, moose, camels, llama, and bison. Horses are not affected. It is highly communicable and can easily be accidently transported by people traveling from infected areas.
Suggestions for reasons why the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK, February 2001, started. Many conspiracy theories, and reasons other than the official one have been suggested.
