Paperwork to Stamp out horse flu?

"Would see all horse owners in the special purple zone (which covers three percent of the State) complete a Travelling Horse Statement (THS) before moving horses.“It is now time to concentrate efforts on cleaning up the disease in the EI purple zone around Sydney, the Hunter Valley and Tamworth,” she said.“Our fight against this disease is moving into the purple zone with the ultimate view of stamping the disease out in this area once and for all."

I realise it was a long held belief that the female mind is inferior to that of the male.

BUT

Someone please help me. If paperwork is going to stamp out horse flu once and for all why didnt they start it from day one??????????????

Or do they mean it in the sense they are going to use all that paper to sop up all remaining virus in the atmosphere?


And if i hear once more that the only way it can be spread other than horse to horse is negligant bio security on the part of people Im going to go mad!

Dont the DPI read their own paperwork?

Surely they have copies of the Callihan Enquiry. "60 percent of the dogs tested were infected with EI and SHEDDING THE VIRUS"

My capitals not theirs.

Why was there never a lockdown on dogs issued or didnt they want to scare the ignorant masses?
