Birth Defect Animal Disease Found On 74 Farms

A midge bourne virus is going to be hard to stop but perhaps the use of large scale midge traps developed by researchers here in Scotland to reduce the midge problem around campsites where the midge problem blights many a camping holiday in the highlands could be deployed in and around grazing areas on farms in the south east to kill off the midge population, it won't kill all the midges but it may slow the spread while reserch goes ahead into ways to combat this virus. No farmer needs the distress of aborted or to watch deformed animals being born only to die very rapidly from their deformaties, there is the financial loss to the farm but the distress to livestock troubles every good farmer far more.

What are the chances it is actually caused by GMO in animal feed? GM is not allowed by Europe in food for humans, but it is allowed in animal feed. Most soya and maize is bought from South America where GM is widely grown. This way, it also gets into our food chain as we drink the milk and eat the meat from the animals. Late abortions and animal deformities have already been reported in countries where GM feed is openly used.

Why why are still importing foreign filth, concret the tunnel up, Then pump all sewage into it. That slime on the otherside, its what they are and what they eat

Sue Europe for allowing it to spread. Rabies next if they force us to relax quarantine.

the midges probabley were imported by muslims under sharia law to purify the planet of us english fellas if you cant blow em up starve them to death infidel and proud

Netherlands' factory farming KZs are among the cruellest on Earth

The Fockewolves have returned this time with chemical weapons. I blame Cameron and Cleggy they don't like Cows because they need a step ladder to have their way with em!

This is interesting as I remember blue tongue coming to the UK from Northern Europe not so long ago too! Wikipedia speculates "Researchers at the Institute for Animal Health (UK) has however offered an alternative hypothesis.[18] Three cows that had recovered from bluetongue the previous autumn were exported from the Netherlands to Northern Ireland in January 2008. In February, these cows gave birth to calves that were found to be carriers of the disease." So the question I have is Schmallenberg virus a genetic mutation of Bluetongue? For sure both viruses are recent, they come from Northern Europe and appear to transported by midges and appear to cause infection that can effect the unborn calf? Regardless of the science time for EU farmers to deal with the midges and quick with whatever support they can get from the EU and national governments.

Its already crossed over to humans in West Berkshire...

Ah the Governments secret virus labs have been at release yet again. And not by accident either.

Will we Have Big Bonfires.again. ? and you'll need a Second Mortgage for a Lamb Chop.?

Let's hope it doesn't cross over to humans .

The news channels are really trying to big this up

let me guess.... its the badgers fault again... lets gass and shoot all the badgers, er maybe its birds as well lets kill all them.... and ramblers as well..!!! definately not the farmers fault...

We need to do something about the midges. Maybe spread DDT where they lay their eggs or introduce large numbers of sterile males to prevent the birth of the next generation?

Are you aware for every glass of milk you and your children drink , there is an eye-dropper full of pu/ss from abscess's formed from the stress the dairy cows are put under inside the udder , so when the milking machines go too work they don't know the difference between puss and milk . The people in charge of all dairy produce in this country say that amount of puss is not harmful too human-beings , and that excuse is put forward to justify there barbaric treatmant of dairy cattle .

Results of GMO and/or chemtrailing a certainty! These traits are already in humans!

Not necessarily by midges more like anther German assault on our economy!

My mother had this virus when she was expecting me!

I promise to use condoms in future.
Sorry.
