Purple zones

Well done & well said Heath.

I'm glad that Arrowfield got their mares there under permit :-P, but how come John, you seem to be able to get permits so readily ??? Who's butt do we all need to start kissing to get them too?? All your horses are to you, is money making machines, you don't give a rats about the mare who lost her foal, your just worried about getting her back to stud so she can be bred again for next year. You have no idea about love or compassion for anything, it's all dollar signs to you.

With regard to the extension of the purple zone, was anyone asked if they wanted this to occur ?? It seems a lot of owners now living within this new extension aren't happy with this decision. No one wants to send horses into the purple zone "indefinitely" - unless your a TB breeder. Yes competitions may be able to get going, but who wants to risk working a horse too early and damaging their lungs further, oops forgot, racehorse trainers, there's always a steady supply of replacements.

What's going to happen to all the GM vaccinated horses when they're finished racing etc. They can't be sent to the "doggers" as their meat can't be used ? They can't be sold to NZ or other GM resistant countries, even Tassie may not want them. When will the powers that be actually stop and sit down and really look at it in a logical way instead of all these knee jerk reactions, when someone in power says jump.

When will the TB association stop treating people with contempt ? I have a good friend who was contacted by them to say that they would be at their property to vaccinated ONE TB they had there, to be broken in and trained. They were TOLD to have said horse in the yards ready for them. They asked the caller, what about the other 46 horses ? He said as they weren't TB's they wouldn't be done. They said, so those horses can basically go jump, and the reply was YES, they don't matter. They then told caller that they would ALL be in the yard together and they could pick which one they wanted to vaccinate as they are SO CLEVER. Said TB representative didn't turn up.......but just where do these people get off ??

Hopefully in 2 weeks when the " PLEGMINGTON MELBOURNE CUP" is run and won, & EI suddenly and of course, unexpectedly shows up in VIC, the government will finally throw in the towel as they've made their millions from the spring carnival. They will lets us start to manage EI ourselves, maybe then we'll have a chance of controlling this bug.

from the post above it is more likely that the State Government is likely to be kissing John Messara's butt than the other way around.
