Foot-and-mouth disease: the Veterinary Services are sounding the alarm

Foot-and-mouth disease: the Veterinary Services are sounding the alarm

Times are difficult, and that is why responsibility, honesty and full compliance are required from everyone, the Veterinary Services state in a statement, stressing that intolerable practices endanger the Livestock Sector.

They make special reference to an incident in Livadia, where, they emphasize, a breeder caused tension and obstructed veterinary services, thus contributing to the spread of the virus.

In fact, they continue, while the property had 30 animals, more than 109 were found in it, a fact that is being investigated.

The Veterinary Services underline that while they apply what the law stipulates, with the sole aim of eliminating the virus, they are faced with incidents that are outside the scope of the legislation: threats, obstruction, concealment or even movement of animals.

They emphasize that strict compliance with the legislation is necessary to protect the entire livestock sector.
