Veterinarian Letter to Editor RE: Ebola
Lewiston Idaho veterinarian's Letter to the Editor re: Ebola, Nails it!

The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the following letter to the editor of the Lewiston Morning Tribune:

Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:

If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any African country other than Morocco, the horse needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US; this is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it were to come here.

The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.

I can’t legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I can’t legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.

I’m not complaining; the United States of America, the States of Idaho and Washington as well as the other 48 states take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity in our animal population.

If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required) I can be walking the streets of any city in the United States.

I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so highly.

David A. Rustebakke, DVM

My Farrier and i were just discussing this. And to those who say govt can't afford to test everyone, if i want to take an animal across state lines, i pay for it..not the govt. same should apply for humans. tons of disease control literature for chickens on chronic respiratory disease (which is rarely fatal) but its ok to kiss ebola patients.

You are leading yourselves and all into exactly what the creators of Ebola envision for you. They deem you non man already. They state that you are animals already. Why then can you not see exactly where you are being herded ? Why can you not see that you are being conditioned into accepting bio tags and mandatory shot records to move anywhere...as if you were a herd of cattle?

All because the Ebola boogeyman has you frightened of and fear of your own death. Willingly you think these measures will keep you safe, yet do you not understand that all of our days are numbered? If our days are numbered, then who has the last laugh but these men who invent yet another fear of death scenerio that herds you into accepting their pharisaical laws and regulations and teachings?

And you are all high fiving without sitting down and understanding the points being made, ABOVE AND BEYOND what he writes. You simply respond thinking that it sounds good...not realising the implications that you are USHERING IN SUCH MEASURES FOR YOURSELVES.

The vet is absolutely 100% right. We protect our animal population more carefully than our human population.

But do realize the libtards and blacks will claim that you are comparing them to and treating them like animals? Seriously, that's how their fucked up heads work.

Before the advent of the modern jet, it was not uncommon to be held in quarantine after leaving a ship. My ancestors spent 8 weeks at Elis Island. You are another bleeding heart libtard that will end up being the death of us all. You people act like free movement around the globe anytime your little heart desires free of any and all restrictions is the norm. It has only been this way since the 50's or 60's you fucking morans.

You people have lived such a soft, delicate life you can not fathom what it took, and what hard choices were required, to build such a society that allows for limp wristed dipshits such as yourself to exist.

My grandfather's home was qurantined numerous times as a child. He came down with polio, measles, mumps AND scarlet fever. And each time his house was surrounded by red tape and his father had to live at work and could only wave to his children from the sidewalk.

We wouldn't be here today unless these tough choices were made. Looks like a lot of you fools will have to die horrific deaths so the survivors can once again understand the repurcussions of such a progressive lifestyle.

Yes but not me, because i don't intend on flying to an ebola stricken country any time soon...
