If a case of mouth and mouth disease occurs in one stable, all animals are cum. Is that necessary? Many say no.
Although some vets see no other option than killing all animals when the mouth and mouth disease occurs, others say that quarantine would be sufficient. “Yes, weak animals and some of the boys would die. The rest would not die,” says a already retired veterinarian. And continues: “Quarantine would be enough. After a few weeks the ghost would be over.”
There are also many among the farmers who stand up for the life of their animals. Now even with an online petition. “Protection of the valuable animal life” is the name of the petition of Helga Krückl on Openpetition.eu.
Current procedure “More than cruel”
She has been breeding Scottish Highland for more than 25 years on an organic farm in the Mühlviertel in Upper Austria. “During these years the animals taught us that they are reliable and feelings,” she explains. That is why it is more than cruel for them to just kill all animals “as a precaution”. It requires that the standard specification must be changed in Austria, that the animals are tested and vaccinated and that they can be cured.
“According to the new level of knowledge, the death penalty is outdated,” she says. And emphasizes that there are often only economic reasons behind the champions. By the way, there was a vaccination in the EU until 1991. Then it was stopped for repaying the plague.
Tobias Griemann, livestock farming in Tades, has already signed the petition and spreads it further. “The law must be covered for the welfare of the animals,” he is convinced.
