'Would all have to be slaughtered': Grim foot and mouth warning for Aussie farmers

 https://www.9news.com.au/national/foot-and-mouth-disease-australia-farmers-grim-warning-if-foot-and-mouth-hits-aussie-herds/b2cea99f-905c-4a4c-afce-2e142d53d72c

It is only a matter of time before this hits Australia. You may think this is fear-mongering but time will tell. Luckily the meat brought into Australia was confiscated  but how do we know if someone has already bought contaminated meat? For the meat to reach the supermarket shelves is shocking. 

And if what this article says is true about people coming off flights and not sterilising footwear then we are not in a good position to keep the disease out of the country. The fact that processed meat made it to the supermarkets doesn’t look good at all. It’s just one more thing that could harm our country and the economy. My heart goes out to all the animals that suffer from this horrible disease.
