We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow vaccination 'to live' now for Foot and Mouth Disease Protection. More details
Submitted by Jane Barribal of Farmtalking – Deadline to sign up by: 10 September 2007 – Signatures: 118
There are two basic forms of emergency vaccination strategy to control Foot and Mouth Disease. The ‘vaccination-to-live’ policy whereby the animals live out their normal economic lives and their meat is then eaten; or the ‘vaccination-to-die’ strategy whereby animals around an infected farm are vaccinated to reduce the spread of infection and are then killed. The latter is quite unacceptable and we want to protect our animals now through a vaccination 'to live' policy
