well they had to tighten the rules after the 2000/2001 foot and mouth outbreak which very nearly wiped out all the farms where i am now living.

Nation wide that was a disaster

yes it was, but i can only say it was pretty bad down here, we came to look at a property and you could smell all the smoke from the burning carcases, it hung in the air and got into everything. this area was in the heart of the Devon outbreak and it nearly finished this community.

Don't forget that most of these rules are put out by the EU. We then gold plate them and make them worse because our government is useless. The other countries just ignore them.

Did you know there is a defined bendyness for a banana. Outside those tolerances and it is waste.

supermarkets also have size criteria, too small and they dont want it, might be just what we need but because of their rules we cant get it, take onions for example, OH likes small onions cos she only uses a little so large ones get wasted, so what does the supermarket sell? you've guessed it havent you? LARGE ones!

foot and mouth is not deadly just uncomfortable for the beast so why do they kill them

if i remember correctly it can infect humans

because the animals are sick and dying of it, do you want to eat a sick animal? and yes, i believe humans have caught the disease.
