Foot and Mouth Disease

<< < (6/7) > >>

William:
I think worrying over some stupid hobby of driving through puddles and getting all excited over it is rather irrelevant in comparison to the possibility of people such as farmers not only losing their livelihood but also a way of life. Businesses and families can be destroyed by this disease.

And as for the pathetic comment about farmers getting compensation, speaking from experience, compensation barely covers half of the production costs let alone the measly profit we gamble upon receiving once a healthy animal is sold. And a herd isnt bought a herd is made, and this often taken an entire family tree to achieve. So unless you understand the countryside and how it works, keep your un-educated statements to yourself.

Not wishing to rant

thanks

does no-one read threads prior to posting any more??????? Clearly this is not an animal movement issue, it is a breach of lab containment!! :roll:

Sorry mate, not sure who bugged you so badly but this is a free country and everyone is allowed an opinion. If you don't like that its too bad don't ridicule someone for having their own thoughts, especially as this is an off roading site not a farming site.

Thank you!

William:
Well if this is not an offroading site and not a farming site-quote, then what i stated was appropriate, commenting on a subject upon which it is clear the quotee new nothing about then they should stick to off roading and not decide they understand farming and how it works.

Thankyou!

Boggert:
Dude, This is an off roading site! and as I said it a free country so people are allowed an opinion, informed or not!
