The farmer even threatened to hide the quarantined sheep in her house to block CFIA. Inspectors can enter barns, not the farmhouse. A time-limited solution, to say the least. 🐑 #CFIA #Scrapie #Biosecurity #AgPolicy
Remember the 2012 Ontario standoff when CFIA ordered heritage sheep destroyed for scrapie (a prion disease)? The farmer hid them and they scattered across Ontario, risking spread. It was like Waco, but with sheep. 🐑🇨🇦 #CFIA #Scrapie #AgPolicy #WacoWithSheep
#Scrapie was detected at the farm #Kirkjuhóll in #Skagafjörður in #Iceland last week. The diagnosis is always a major blow, and it is clear that much work now awaits the farmers. The farmers say it is a comfort that they can keep some of their flock.
What if #stupidity turns out to be a #prion disease, like #kuru and #scrapie and #BSE?
Probably best not to grind up their infected carcasses and feed them to other ruminants though as was done with #scrapie sheep leading to #bse #madcowdisease.
