This is a horrible disease, which results in the slaughter of many animals to prevent an economic catastrophe, and while it is not something that can affect humans, farming in this country is having enough trouble as it is. My heart goes out to all the farmers caught up in this, particularly as while there is compensation for animals slaughtered and feedstuff seized, there is no compensation for loss of earnings due to movement restrictions. As soon as an infected animal is discovered, movement to and from the premises is banned, so farmers are losing vast amounts of money for as long as these restrictions are imposed. Please, please, <i><b>please<\/b><\/i> think about the farmers and how they are struggling, and obey any movement restrictions. So you may have to put off visiting your favourite prehistoric monument or not go on some of your favourite walks for a while. It is terribly important.
