Well, I just don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if this were an exact copy of BSE (which was a result of cattle eating up remains of ground up diseased dead cattle).
We're going to Hell in a handcart, witness the news from Greenland. And I'm rather afraid that, even if the world tried to mend its ways, we've passed the tipping point.

I do agree with the BBC article.
In my region deers and chamoises periodically get attacked by mange.
This is a natural process and there's nothing we can do but preserve the sane ones to survive to hunting by humans.
This kind of desease doesn't affects other animals like cows or dogs.
In the case of BSE they couldn't talk about "migrant" cows.
Maybe next time they'll try to convince us that a cow can fly.
The governements and TVs news spread very dangerous ideas because put all the blame on wild migrant birds and this could cause and encreasement of illegal hunting and the feeling that these creatures are dangerous.

The problem is not so much too many domestic foul as too many humans rearing them, but nature will find a solution, even if it is mankind's ability to destroy himself that does it in the end.

It's spreading and pretty quick too, could even have reached France.
If the results come back positive it'll be here within weeks.

I woke up rather early this morning and heard the farming programme on Radio 4. Would you believe that farmers all over the country are ignoring the six-day standstill period brought in by legislation after the 2001 foot&mouth fiasco to prevent the spread of disease?
I don't suppose that they give a f*ck, after all, because the taxpayer compensates them for all stock destroyed.
Profoundly depressing to hear, though.
