THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO STATES WITH EI

I wish we were in NSW!!

How can two states belonging to the same Federation be so different in the way they are handling or not handling vaccinations for members?

EFA NSW Squad Horses have been vaccinated

EFA QLD Squad Horses are still…..waiting…..

and look what NSW is trying to do for ALL their members – WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

EFA National what is going on??!!

Below are current extracts from the relevant websites.

EFANSW -
Important message to members: The EFA NSW previously announced on this site that we were asking for members to register with us if they were in the purple/red zones and had EFA competition horses that could be vaccinated. We have now undertaken to contact personally over the next few days all members with horses with perfomance cards in the purple and red zones so that we can be sure we have included everyone. Regarding vaccinations, please click here for updated information from 11th October 2007. Thank you for your patience and understanding. EFA NSW

OWNERS OF A HORSE OF SIGNIFICANCE

Liz Buchanan, Tuesday, 9 October 2007
Equestrian Queensland as a result of the recent announcement made by the Chief Veterinary Office, Dr Ron Glanville in relation to the allocation of 4000 viles of the vaccine to sport and leisure horses, would encourage all those who have horses that they believe fall under this classification to make application to the DPI for inoculation.

It is important to note that Equestrian Queensland cannot assist you with your application as it must be made on an individual basis. Part of this process is the provision of information on your on your vet, including their registration details amongst other things, for your application to be assessed accordingly.

All applications for inoculation under this program will be assessed on their merits by the DPI and you will be advised accordingly. We apologise, but we are unable to advise you as to the timeframe of this process.

PLEASE NOTE: Owners of horses current only Equestrian Queensland State Squads do not need to apply for vaccination as these horses have been covered under a different program, with vaccinations due to commence imminently.

The response of the Queensland Branch of the EFA is not supprising. If you go to their web site and look at EI updates you will not find one negitive thing about the Qld DPI and their handling of the EI outbreak in Queensland in fact you will find every piece of properganda that the DPI has sent out as a media release.
After the meeting at Ipswich last Saturday the other side of the story does not even get a mention only the Qld DPI's side.
I believe that as the EFA is relient on State Government funding they will not say or do anything to go against the State Government line and as a organisation that calls its self the peak equestrian organisation in Queensland it must be disapointing for there members to find out it is nothing but a tooth less tiger looking after its own self interests and not its members interests.
