Government has turned its back on since February, thinking that it will be all right because compensation is paid. I t is not all right. MAFF money is taxpayers' money. Farm­ ers must earn money from their animals, but that is their living, one which provides food for those who are not farmers. Most of them live on the land and close to the land. • They, their families and their stock


grow with the land. Of course most of the animals go


for food: th a t is why they are reared, but they are reared in a liv­ ing, empathetic and often unsenti­ mental cycle of birth, growth and death which is an essential part of farm life and in which generations of farmers have lived. I t also involves'aiprocess of auction mart sales and transport to abattoir, but which,is a long, way from the mass slaughter and piling up of carcass­ es in front of the families who reared them. I t is reasonable that a farmer will want his animals killed if they will lose their value and would have to he fed if he kept them, but pragmatism does not exclude feelings for animals and

who still call themselves farmers, do not feel the same way about the land its the small farmers who have held the land for generations. They have the resources, like the corpora­ tions supported by the NFU, to buy out the bankrupts, snap up the empty land and do what they do best - make more money. There are also those who are using the system without applying any moral judge­ ment, without a scrap of feeling for the land and the lives of those on it.

I t is not even run by the Government as we have no govern­ ment, just a lot of politicians racing round trying to get elected. I t is based on the EU policy on FMD, which Britain helped to create: the


cine-free herds have been developed from vaccinated ones, the use of vaccine has been barely considered. The NFU is in reality a trade asso­ ciation of great power and, through its representation of a stated 70%' of British farmers, is determined the country maintains its vaccine- free status. Farmers fear the loss of the values of their stock, so many naturally refuse to support vacci­ nation. Does that mean that every time the country gets the disease we will kill again? A senior vet asked by the Times if a mass- slaughter policy would be used next time replied that it was politically inconceivable. So what then? Vacci­


nation? We used to eat our own vaccinat­


ed meat here. We are eating vacci­ nated meat from Argentina and Asia in this country now. Why import poorer quality meat when we can eat our own product? I t is just a matter of adjusting the very markets and rules we helped set in place. Unfortunately, this will not happen now and the killing will continue. There’s an election. Haven't you heard?
