Subject: Another Breakout of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in the UK

From BBC News Online:
Initial tests show the latest outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease is the same strain as that which infected herds last month, the BBC has been told.
Scotland's Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said first results from tests on cattle in Egham, Surrey, "pointed in that direction".
The government is facing criticism that it was too quick to declare Britain foot-and-mouth free last week.
A movement ban is in place, and the EU has stopped animal exports.

This outbreak comes at a bad time for the farmer's year, for it is September which the livestock is taken to the market for selling and brings the money home. Now the livestock has to stay stationary, nothing can be done till the movement restrictions are lifted. Thus creating a high cost in upkeep.
