No plan for widespread vaccination.
I thought I'd bring up something that is possibaly the dumbest thing to have been done in relation to the plan to get rid of EI.
"There is no plan for widespread vaccination of horses in Australia while the eradication program is in progress."
Okay do I need to explain just how stupid that is? Has nobody told the "officals" we are forced to rely on during this crisis that if you do a widespread vaccination, eradication will happen quickly?
It seems as though the people in charge of vaccinations are either really stupid or on the pay-roll of some hot shot racing trainer. You see the thing that gets me is the racing world only want their horses vaccinated so they can compete - we want our horses vaccinated to protect their health.
Look at Makybe Diva - she has gone from being the Legendary Mare of Track to a money factory. Her little boy is only 7 weeks old and they already have her in foal again? While EI is running around the property she is kept on? It might be nothing for a millionaire to loose a foal but to the NON-RACING crowd - who work day-in, day-out just to be able to aford the ability to breed it's a huge lose. And i'm sure the Diva doesn't want to loose her little boy.
Bottom line is that if no one bets on the Melbourne Cup - they dont make any money! And as the Non-Racing world currently hates them for the special treament they are receiving it looks like it will be a fun time for them. If it happens that is.
Word directly from the VIC DPI (my family called them this afternoon) is that 297 properties in VIC with over 496 horses between them had been tested for EI as of 12.30pm today. Bet nobody knows about that little detail.
So to the Racing Industry I hope your happy - you get to run your precious race, Victorian horses now get to suffer.
Thanks a bloody lot!

RACING PEOPLE NEED THEIR HORSES VACCINATED FIRST - IN SOME CASES! Such as ourselves. My husband and I run a successful harness racing business in QLD. We both left a successful career in mining in northern QLD for our dream job of training our gorgeous, much loved standardbreds. We also have two young children - 2 and 4yrs, the 4yr old has bad asthma and needs much care and medication. Our sole income is derived from our horses earning every week for us so we can pay our bills. Our horses pay for us to live - our groceries, medical expenses, kindy fees, mortgage, general cost of running our 25acre property etc. We live in the 'red zone' and have had our horses vaccinated. We NEEDED our horses vaccinated FIRST and FOREMOST above other 'paddock bashers' because without our horses earning for us we HAVE NO INCOME! It's alright for all you casual riders to get on your high horse and have a go at the racing industry and government etc. for discriminating against pleasure horses, but spare a thought for people such as ourselves who have kids to feed and raise, a property to run, a mortgage to pay off. We need our horses to stay healthy so we can race as soon as possible so we don't slip further and further into debt. You guys are still able to work the 9 to 5, not us. Yes, I know we are eligible for some handouts but they are limited and will not cover all our costs. we are only just getting by - for now. And yes, we do love our horses to bits, they are NOT just money makers for us. EACH and EVERY ONE is truly special and extremely well looked after and loved.
NO EMMA I HAVE JUST NOTICED THE MOST STUPID THING EVER..\
THAT IS SMALL MINDED PEOPLE LIKE YOU THINK THAT ALL RACING TRAINERS AND PEOPLE USE THEIR HORSES AS MONEY MAKING MACHINES. DO YOU REALLY THINK THE OWNER OF THE DIVA IS TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF HER??
HES A BLOODY MILLIONAIRE ANYWAY!!!!
FOR YOUR INFORMATION HE HAD HER BOOKED TO ONE OF THE WORLDS MOST PRECTIGIOUS STALLIONS BUT THANKS TO THE EI SHE HAS MISSED AN OPPORTUINTY TO BREED ONE OF THE WORLDS MOST WELL BRED BABIES....
I TRAIN IN MUDGEE NSW AND I CAN TELL YOU THE 18 RACE HORSES WE HAVE ARE ALL LOVED IN FACT OVER LOVED THEY ARE AS SPOILT AS MY TWO DRESSAGE HORSES. I HAVE HAD RACING AND SHOWING IN MY FAMILY FOR OVER 40 YEARS. AND LET ME TELL YOU BOYCOTTING BETS ON THE CUP IS BEING A BIG SLOIL SPORT. AS FOR THE NON RACING WORLD HATING THEM, GET IT RIGHT ALOT OF US ARE ON BOTH SIDES OR DID YOU NOT NO THAT....
