August 3, 200718 yr Here's the article, and it seems like it's a disease that affects cattle, not sure what it does, but it sounds like it's really devastating.
August 4, 200718 yr Just bought a 1/4 cow yesterday. *Hoards his 177 pounds of beef.* :P The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!
August 4, 200718 yr My parents live in a village that was in the middle of the most heavily hit area of Holland. Because there are dozens of farms in the area with forests in between that have a lot of animals that can transfer the disease (mainly wild boars), the area pretty much shut down. I was working in a zoo that decided to just shut down for the summer and nearly went bankrupt. If they got hit again in any serious way, I probably couldn't even visit them as I live on the other end of the country.

August 9, 200718 yr Right in 2001 it more or less screwed the British economy over costing billions of pounds...i can't believe some people never heard of this. New outbreak just started,and i hope the government will learn from experience and be able to deal with it better this time.

It's like us not knowing about Katrina really. -.- Anyways, it's not anywhere near as serious as the media is making out. The disease has been contained in a 10-mile wide region, and cattle movements have been moderated to assure only safe meat is on the shelves. It's really not worth all this fuss... trust the authorites, you are safe. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 9, 200718 yr I've never heard of it either - they just don't show it on the major news channels. At least, when I watch, which is fairly often. me and kashi are running for president in '08.
August 9, 200718 yr I'm pretty sure it will be better handled this time compared to before and hopefully it can stay to within Surrey as not to spread to other areas of the UK Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements

August 10, 200718 yr trust the authorites, you are safe. Thats what I;ve been saying for years....But yea, they are more experienced with it and can take care of business. Probably because people refuse to accept that other people actually know what's best for them. They need to learn that to work with their ways isn't to be submissive... it's merely to accept the help of someone who knows best. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
