merrie says: Ms Toft said she was alarmed at the DPI's lack of urgency over the outbreak on her property, where other mares and some older horses were sick."We haven't had much help from the DPI since the beginning," she said. "We reported our property to be infected now 14 days ago and we still, to this day, we haven't had a DPI inspector onto our property to look at the severity of the problem." She urged breeders to band together and voice their concerns to the Government. A DPI spokesman today said that biosecurity was everyone's responsibility, including horse owners and their vets. He said a DPI inspector would be unable to visit other properties for 24 hours after being on an infected site. Obviously no votes in it. They reckon most of the horse people will vote for the Nationals or Libs. This disgruntled punter, like many others, will have a rest until the racing returns to normal. If I was trying to pick my nose, instead of winners, I'd poke my eye out. I'm really not very savvy on Australian politics, but I love John Howard. Anyway, I've been worried about that EI since it began the end of Aug., and despite all the impose quarantines, it still continues. I wonder why they don't give them the vaccine. If I was Ms Toft, I'd be pissed!!!! |
