Incurable disease kills lambs

[Scythe13]

The lambs are dying. Cause.....an incurable disease. It's not a threat to humans, but it's still a note worth piece of information.

Lambs are dying from a disease, same as chickens were. Like avian flu, the possibility of it transfering, or of scientists playing around with the virus is what concerns me more.

Also, if sheep keep dying off, that's going to increase the cost of the meat, wool, and many other things. A huge amount of abatouir business will vanish. Which could lead to close downs, job cuts, that kind of thing.

This has two effects on us;
1) The government will start to register all sheep and people like us will not be able to get out of it.
2) The food supply on the planet is reduced this means prices will go up

We have not got an incurable disease for pigs yet. Although knowing how it works pork will be legislated against because it offends people.

yeah, but only a few-on religious grounds! i believe pig meat in the old testament was not so much a case of offensive but was shunned because it went OFF quick in hot countries, they didnt have freezers back then!
