Hoppin' Mad

Hi Everyone,
I have cooled down slightly....well enough to write this email anyway.

As you may or may not know I had E.I. (Confirmed by the dpi) here and I just rang the NSW DPI to ask when I would be out of quarantine, original information said 50 days.....guess what they told me?

I am not in quarantine anymore there is no such thing, I am in a PURPLE ZONE EVEN THOUGH MY HORSES ARE IMMUNE TO E.I. I CAN'T MOVE THEM OUT OF THE PURPLE ZONE.......THIS IS THE REASON.....THEY MAYBE CARRYING THE VIRUS ON THEIR GET THIS......"FUR"!!!!!!!

HOW CAN THEY CARRY THE FLIPIN' VIRUS IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE AND IT CANNOT LIVE OUTSIDE A HOST FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.

Hey, don't take my word read what they say!!!!!!!

This information below was taken from the NSW DPI website.

How long are infected horses quarantined for?

If equine influenza is suspected or detected in a horse on a property, an inspector will issue a Quarantine Order. This is a legal notice which means that you cannot move horses or anything that could be contaminated by the virus off the property unless authorised by an inspector. A Quarantine Order is usually in force for 50 days. This should allow sufficient time for the disease to run its course.

What if my horse dies of equine influenza?

It is unlikely that any horses will die. But a dead horse is still infective to other horses and the body must be disposed of in an approved manner.

Do carrier animals exist?

No. Once an animal has recovered and a sufficient time (30 days) has elapsed they pose no risk to other horses.

SO WHY ARE WE QUARANTINED IN A PURPLE ZONE?
WHY DON'T THE DPI KNOW THAT HORSES HAVE HAIR NOT FUR?
THIS WHOLE THING IS A BUNGLE AND HAS BEEN MISMANAGED BY A BUNCH OF PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO MAY NOT KNOW ONE END OF A HORSE FROM THE OTHER!!!!!!

Before you have a rant about the DPI do some research. Viruses not just travel in a host but on tht host. SO just like people can carry the virus so can immune horses the DPI is completely right you cannot and should not move them. The Virus can live for 3-4 days up their nasal passages and up ours too. This is how the outbreaks are happening. READ THE INFO!!!

Do your research properly before loosing your cool... the DPI are right and it is the ignorance that people like you have, that is spreading the disease. The virus lives up our and our horses Nasal passages for three days whether they are immune or not they still CARRY THE VIRUS!!! You and your horse are told to stay still as there is still active virus in the area that can hitch a ride on you or your horse to other susceptible horses. Your horses immunity only protects your horse not anyone else's!!

AND YES YOU ANONYMOUS BLOGGERS THESE HORSES WILL CARRY THE VIRUS. AS IT IS UN-DETECTED IN VACCINATED HORSES, OR HORSES WHO HAVE HAD EI. (TO THE HUMAN EYE ANYWAY)AN YES THOSE THAT HAVE STRUGGLED THROUGH IT YOUR HORSES HAVE (I HIGHER IMMUNE COUNT).....BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS ALL DPI INFO....... AND NOT YOUR’S OR MINE........

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR SAY PUT YOUR NAME TO IT.
