Sword of mercy (OP) User ID: 11014194 United Kingdom 02/18/2012 05:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | new virus is causing lambs to be born with deformities so severe that they die within seconds. Cows too ? Sorry I will post link again. snip... Vet Toby Kemble has already seen deformed lambs at eight out of 10 sheep farms he has been to in north Norfolk this year. "It's concerning for the farmer, from their point of view they are losing lambs and losing productivity but it's very upsetting seeing the lambs," he said. So far the majority of confirmed cases have been in Suffolk and Norfolk. But farms in Kent, East Sussex, Essex and Hertfordshire have also been affected. And in West Sussex the virus has been found not just in sheep but also cattle. Most lambs and calves are born in the spring so for many farmers it is a waiting game. "It's a new virus so we just don't know what's going to happen," said Mr Kemble. Last Edited by Sword of mercy on 02/18/2012 09:09 AM "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! " |

A meditative comment here: [link to blog.santelog.com] "" Sirs, Ladies, during the last compulsory vaccination, against both sérotypes 8 and 1 of the FCO, at the risk of legal proceedings, we made notice, by services of the DDTM, the hurts provoked in the points of injection, and during births, a large number of lambs presented deformations very similar to those whom you attribute to the Virus Schmallenberg. Few lambs survived, and in which state! We deducted from it, that the vaccine which was imposed on us, contaminated our ewes, because we have probably, already, received the result of a transfer(transformation), as that described in the Netherlands. During the summer, 2010, we did not renew any more this vaccination, to see these events reproducing, and, effectively, our ewes gave birth to normal lambs. We thank you, Sirs and Ladies, sincerely, to have ended this obligation to inoculate, which(who) caused us a considerable damage.

Quoting: DoubleHelix So on top of histories worst snowstorm in europe we have this. Sounds more like radiation deformation to me but what do i know I completely agree. Call it a virus...people go ok...call it radiation contamination and people would demand answers check ut contamination of the shetland islands after chernobyl...the sheep were so radioactive... but there were fears at the time it was more widespread....snaps to me of radiation.....it would also be interesting if this has been found in ohter species....as each would have an optimom..... anyway i dont think becoming a veggie would do much good either (eg alcumulation of radiation) as if it is in the sheep its likley to be in all crops..... |
