Geoffrey lean points out the powerful contrast between pharmers’ response to the bse epidemic and the f&m epidemic. When bse first appeared, pharmers refused to take it seriously. They tried to minimize the slaughter of their slave Animals and kept pushing as many cadavers as possible into the ooman feed chain - even those afflicted by the disease. And yet as soon as f&m appeared the disease was taken highly seriously - pharmers instantly demanded the mass slaughter of their Animals, “Yet maff steadfastly refuses to countenance any relaxation of its zero tolerance policy. This contrasts sharply with the enormous tolerance it showed BSE, allowing hundreds of thousands of diseased animals into the food chain and permitting controls ­ when introduced ­ to be poorly enforced and widely flouted. Yet bse really is a terrifying plague which has killed 80 people, slowly and horrifically, and will do the same to thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, more over coming decades. Maff's reaction to the two diseases shows where its priorities lie. It cares little for human health. It is not even particularly bothered about sick animals. What gets it exercised, and spurs it to emergency action, is a threat to the profitability of agribusiness.” [1]

It was pointed out earlier that during the f&m epidemic the media constantly invited pharmers to express their views and feelings about the epidemic. Pharmers used their appearances in the media not merely to indulge in rampant sentimentalism towards the Animals they had previously treated like lumps of meat, but to promote their interests over a wide range of issues that had nothing to do with f&m. Given the enormous amount of public sympathy they received for their plight, the disease created an excellent opportunity for narrow-minded, right-wing, pharmers to start attacking policies they didn’t like and to promote campaigns for further increases in their already lavish subsidies. Since the 1997 general election pharmers have been attempting to roll back a wide range of what they call ‘red tape’ but which normal people call health and safety regulations

After the 1997 general election, mcblair appointed jeff rooker to the post of minister of food in the maffia. With tessa jowell at health he created a group called the joint food standards and safety group. Rooker stated that, “It is the embryo of the Food Safety Agency.” [2] But, he argued, he didn’t want the new agency to face the same dilemmas as the maffia had done when it was responsible for representing both consumers and producers. What he meant was that the new body ought to be prevented from investigating what was happening on pharms, “So we’ve left veterinary products and pesticides outside its remit, although we’ve given the FSA long-stop powers that it can use if it thinks things are not being done by the regulatory authorities to prevent food contamination.” [3] So the idea of a government department which controlled food from the plough to the plate disappeared almost immediately.

.. “hopes for a peat levy, and pesticide and greenfield development taxes were dashed.” [7]

Four years after the announcement of bse-cjd fatalities, pharmers started to demand the mcblair government roll back some of the restrictions that had been placed on the pharming community, “Notably, the Government has promised a high-profile review of the main bse controls, including the slaughter of all cattle over 30 months to see if the measures are proportionate to the assessed risk. It will take place after the report of bse inquiry in the autumn and will be made by the chief scientific officer, Sir Robert May, Liam Donaldson (Chief Medical Officer) and Sir John Krebs (chairman of the Food Standards Agency).” [8]

“A swathe of anti-pollution measures are to be delayed for the next few years to avoid extra costs for farmers.” [9]

Pharmers are legally entitled to compensation for Animals slaughtered by the government - although quite why governments should pass such a law and believe that they have any business managing livestock is not explained. In 2001, the labour government was initially reluctant to pay consequential compensation to pharmers who couldn’t move their Animals because of f&m regulations. It pointed out that if it started paying compensation to pharmers it would also end up paying vast sums of money to haulage firms, abattoirs, supermarkets, the tourist industry, etc, many of which would be even more badly affected than pharmers. However, a government full of pharmers wasn’t going to lose this opportunity to provide pharmers with more subsidies. It had an Animal welfare fund which it used not for Animal welfare, but to provide compensation to any pharmers whose subsidized bank accounts were running low.

It is amazing that pharmers used the f&m epidemic to campaign for a return to the bad old days of unsupervised, laisser-faire, local abattoirs. They wanted the government to fork out hundreds of millions of pounds on rebuilding large numbers of neighbourhood concentration camps. The reduction in the distances travelled would reduce pharmers’ costs. Pharmers used the f&m epidemic, an epidemic which had been caused by the surfeit of pharming subsidies, to demand even more subsidies.

Right-wing, anarcho-laisser-faire, commentators support reductions in health and safety regulations that would ensue from the creation of local abattoirs.

“It was the EU, with full new Labour support, that outlawed small abattoirs by imposing regulations that no medium-sized business could possibly handle. And while they enlisted the god of "hygiene" to justify the red tape, it was known at the time of the E.coli outbreak that triggered the rulings that the meat responsible was prepared by an industrial plant that already complied with EU hygiene rules. [10]

“This situation has been created by nonsensical european regulations that have seen the closure of 800 local slaughter houses in the past 10 years. (Actually, it was the discovery during the bse crisis that these local slaughterhouses were in such an appalling unhygienic state and so badly run that they couldn’t be trusted to carry out the government’s regulations for removing offal. What a short memory this pharmer has). Once environmental health officers could monitor slaughterhouses; now vets have to be permanently on duty to monitor slaughterhouses that have been upgraded to ridiculous and expensive levels far beyond simple hygiene and cleanliness. (In other words they have been brought up to the highest european standards. It is exactly this contempt for high standards of hygiene that is basically behind the spread of the diseases in this country). Farm livestock should not be faced with the stress of travelling long distances - they should be killed locally and the carcasses then transported. The possibility of spreading any disease - swine fever, or foot and moth disease - is then minimized.” [11]

The pharming industry are also demanding an end to the red tape which is adding to their costs - by which they mean the abolition of health and safety regulations inhibiting the spread of bse. They’re too gutless to come out and say that they think that health regulations stopping the spread of bse are too costly and that people ought to take the risk of eating bse-infected bseef but this is what they mean. They don’t care tuppence about oomans getting bse-cjd. They never have and they never will do.

Pharmers want a ban on the importation of cadaver and dairy products, “The farmers are still angry that the Government continues to allow meat to be imported from non-EU countries where foot and mouth is endemic and want a ban on such imports. One cattle farmer in Herefordshire said: "Everybody blames the British. But our hygiene standards are the highest in the world. People forget that we didn't have foot and mouth until somebody brought it in from abroad."” [12] If brutish hygiene standards are the highest in the world why has this country had so many epidemics?

Pharmers used the public sympathy they were given as a result of the media’s hype over the f&m epidemic to promote their own special privileges, “Edward Leigh, Conservative MP for Gainsborough, urged Mr Blair to "respond positively" to the voluntary postponement of the Liberty and Livelihood march, planned for March 18, because of the foot and mouth outbreak. He said the Government should be "understanding and tolerant" of the concerns of the hundreds of thousands who would have taken part - including farm incomes, compensation, access, rural infrastructure and hunting. Mr Blair said he understood the anxiety and fear in the farming community over the outbreak. "In coming on top of the problems of bse and the collapse of certain world commodity prices for farm produce, foot and mouth disease is a bitter and unfair blow to the farmers.” [13]

The f&m epidemic also gave pharmers a chance to have a good whinge about the country’s supermarkets, “Britain's food market is dominated by five big supermarket groups: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Safeway and Somerfield. The big five between them account for more than 80% of all grocery sales. The combined profits of the top four supermarkets was £2.1bn in 2000. Supermarket profits are much greater than the combined income of all UK small farmers. It is almost impossible for a farmer to make a living producing beef in this country. Compensation for BSE cost £607m.” [14]

Over the last decade or so pharmers have been refusing to abide by any government regulations designed to protect public health because they regard such laws as being ‘red tape’. (Many people also tend to believe the law against smoking dope is just red tape). As a consequence of their refusal to abide by public health regulations, they caused the f&m epidemic. It now seems as if the more epidemics they create by refusing to abide by public health regulations, the more public sympathy they are given, the more access they are given to the media, the more pressure they are able to put on the government to abolish public health regulations and to increase their subsidies.

Early on in the f&m epidemic, the pharmer-loving media started generating public sympathy for pharmers by encouraging them to reveal their stories of personal loss. Pharmers have constantly treated Animal rightists with contempt for what they regard as sentimentalism towards Animals and yet pharmers quickly realized that if it wanted to win public sympathy in order to obtain more state subsidies then they had to start being sentimental about the Animals they were slaughtering. Pharmers’ compassion for Animals increased in proportion to their proximity to television cameras. When pharmers appeared in the media, they would completely forget they had treated their Animals like lumps of meat by slaughtering them for having a common cold, and they’d suddenly start sobbing saying how much they would miss their Animals - often referring to them by name. Pharmers acted sentimentally in front of the cameras because they knew it would go down well with the public and that it would attract public sympathy for them rather than the Animals. They were saying things like “Poor, poor, Tinkerbell - we loved her like a member of our own Family.” If this really is how they treat members of their own family then no wonder that pharmers are a dying breed. It is truly amazing how sentimental these fakers become when they needed to extract another £9 billion in subsidies. [15]

Over the last decade or so pharmers, pharmers’ organizations, and pharming propagandists in the brutish media, have been denigrating the Animal rights movement by fabricating a range of lies against them. Pharmers’ propaganda against Animal rightists was also much in evidence during the pharmer induced f&m epidemic.

One of the consequences of pharmers’ black propaganda was that when an Animal welfarist complained about conditions on the pharm in north yorkshire his warnings were ignored. Unfortunately for the pharming industry this pharm was the origin of the f&m epidemic.

In the winter of 2000 an Animal welfare activist noticed the poor state of Animals on bobby waugh's Pig pharm, burnside pig pharm, at heddon-on-the-wall near newcastle, northumberland. Burnside is not a conventional livestock rearing pharm but a holding pharm. Local pharmers sent their Pigs to the centre which looked after them until they could be transported to an abattoir for slaughter. So far there has been no explanation as to why waugh was transporting these Animals such a huge distance to essex when there must have been others much closer.

The protests by this Animal welfare individual, backed up by reputable Animal welfare organizations, were dismissed by the pharmer and by the maffia. Nothing was done about the festering conditions on the pharm nor the use of Pigswill, and eventually f&m erupted on the pharm. Because the pro-pharmer bigots in the maffia hadn’t bothered to properly check on the condition of the Animals on the pharm, the disease could have been on the pharm for weeks or even months prior to its discovery in essex during which time it could have spread to many places around the country. If the maffia had taken notice of this Animal welfarist’s complaint then the f&m epidemic would not have happened. It would not have brought the Animal terrorism industry to its knees and, in turn, the Animal terrorism industry would not have succeeded in bringing the country to its knees by closing large areas of the countryside, cancelling large numbers of social fixtures, and damaging the tourist industry.

Even though it was an Animal welfarist who warned the maffia about the appalling conditions at heddon pharm, this didn’t stop the bigoted sickoes in the Animal terrorism industry from blaming Animal rightists for causing the disease. Indeed, as far as the Animal terrorism industry is concerned the fact that an Animal welfarist had been near to this pharm was proof that he or, his accomplices, must have been responsible for causing the disease. This proposition was put forward by a number of disgustingly nasty, vile, people/organizations.

The mirror, edited by piers morgan, was the first nasty little turd to start the ball rolling. In the past, morgan has run a number of mi5 inspired propaganda stories against Animal rightists. The tabloid also has a bizarre fetish for showing women in fur even though it also runs excellent campaigns highlighting the slaughter of Wildlife murdered by the fur trade. As regards this psycho’s anti-Animal rights activities, he published an article, accompanied by a photo of a pharmer with two lambs under his arms entitled, “moving them to safety.” The story ran, “Animal rights terrorists could be behind the foot and mouth crisis, ministers fear. .. ministry of agriculture investigators were probing the idea that activists planted the disease in an attempt to discredit farming practices. A minister source admitted last night, “It’s too early to rule out the possibility that terrorists are behind this.” [22] This is surely one of the more appalling pieces of black propaganda spread by mi5 and the pharming community for many a long year. This shows the extremes to which the terrorists in the pharming industry are willing to go in order to sabotage their critics. [23]

The bbc is responsible for helping to create the phenomena known as celebrity cooks - all of whom seem incapable of cooking meals which don’t consist of meat. Very few of them do any vegetarian dishes and none have shown how to cook vegan meals. One of the bbc’s celebrity cooks is clarissa dickson wright, a woman whose love of fatty meat dishes has turned her into a ooman livestock of gargantuan proportions. Rather than trying to hide her grotesque fatness she calls herself the fat lady. She’s a meat loving, pharmer loving, hunting, shooting, and fishing, lump of lard whom the bbc has transformed into a celebrity. The bbc seems just as concerned about providing celebrity status for meat eating, pharmer loving, hunting, shooting, and fishing, individuals as it does for putting on programmes about cooking. Her cookery programmes celebrate unhealthy eating - lots of red meat and dairy products dripping with cholesterol - no wonder half the country is suffering from obesity. Originally, there were two fat ladies but, fortunately, one of these revoltingly fat gits snuffed it - which is hardly surprising given her diet.

Like the bbc, the guardian also does as much as it can to promote pharmers and the pharming industry and Animal terrorism. It gave leanda de lisle the opportunity to vent her rural spleen after the f&m epidemic led to the cancellation of the second countryside alliance march in london in march 2001, laughably named, the ‘Liberty and Livelihood’ march. She is married to a former Pig pharmer, “Bad news for my husband's hunt, but on the farm he could thank his lucky stars that he had already closed down his outdoor pig unit. With the pigs gone the farm is now entirely arable - although having to make a man redundant seems a strange thing for which to be grateful.” [25]

According to paul harris in the observer, “Extremists in the animal rights movement plan a major offensive, including letter bombs and beatings, after a wave of recruits to militant groups willing to use violence. The news comes after last month's revelations that animal rights groups planned to attack the homes of marchers involved in the proposed Countryside Alliance protest in London. The pro-hunting march was cancelled after the foot-and-mouth outbreak.” [29] It has to be suspected that the people making such allegations are the diseased products of a diseased industry and the sooner this industry is abolished the less chance there is of these lunatics causing any more damage.

The consequences of the black propaganda against Animal rightists are many and varied.

The purpose of the black propaganda against Animal rightists is to label anyone protesting about Animal abuse, or criticizing pharmers for their treatment of slave Animals, as an Animal rights terrorist. The pharmers in parliament brand all critics of the Animal terrorism industry as terrorists in order to intimidate Animal rightists from voicing criticisms about the appallingly unhygienic conditions in which Animals are kept by the Animal terrorism industry and about the disgustingly unnatural practices being carried out by that industry. It is also intended to discourage people from caring about Animal rights issues for fear of being labelled a terrorist. And it is also designed to put pressure on the media to refuse Animal rightists access to the media. In america the so-called “veggie” laws make it an offence to even criticize the vile eco-nazi, Animal slavery industry.

The media enthusiastically regurgitates black propaganda from the Animal terrorism industry and does its best to ignore Animal rights issues. For example, and most prominently, the media refuses to show footage of the inside of the country’s concentration camps or its torture laboratories. Over the years the Animal liberation front has filmed inside a wide variety of laboratories to record scenes of scientists’ cruelty to Animals but the only films the media shows are those of Animal rightists in balaclavas spray painting words of abuse for Animal terrorists, “Viva! has secretly filmed inside 18 UK factory farms. Some of the scenes shown in Pig in Hell require a strong stomach to watch. They include dead and rotting piglets alongside living brothers and sisters; mounds of dead pigs left in the open to decay, prey to dogs and wildlife; dead piglets beneath a sea of writhing maggots; an imprisoned sow covered in flies and blood; a pregnant sow about to give birth into her own excreta; pigs coated in their own faeces with filthy, wet concrete on which to sleep; animals with rupture’s the size of footballs; pigs dragging themselves around, unable to walk.” [30] Why doesn’t the media show these films? The media’s refusal to broadcast these films shows the political power of the country’s Animal terrorists in preventing adverse criticisms about their appalling treatment of Animals.

If the media cannot keep an Animal rights issue out of the public spotlight it simply ignores Animal rightists from taking part in discussions about the issue. Of course the media is all too eager to invite representatives of the Animal terrorism industry to air whatever grievance they might want to bring up, no matter how insignificant it might be.

If the media allows Animal rightists to appear on television it virtually compels them to issue a statement at the start of the interview indicating they are not Animal rights’ terrorists. This immediately puts the public on its guard and makes them suspect the individual either used to be a terrorist or is lying.

If Animal rightists are interviewed on television, interviewers dismiss their criticisms of the pharming industry as the views of fanatics, oddballs, or extremists. Media interviewers believe they have the right to pour scorn on, dismiss, or ridicule anything an Animal rightist says and yet act in the most appallingly obsequious way towards Animal terrorists. Virtually all interviewers in the media are Animal terrorists and they make no attempt at impartiality when discussing an Animal terrorism issue. Jeremy paxman treats Animal rightists with such a contempt it is almost as if he believes they are a variety of Fish to be reeled in and out at will. Paxman is as impartial about Animal rights as jeremy clarkson is about cars. Indeed, there are those who believe that paxman and clarkson are actually the same person. It’s difficult working out whether it would be better to reform paxman by trying to encourage him to play with toys or to reform clarkson by taking away his toys. Both of them are such planetless turds the only real option would be blast them into outer space so that they could find a planet which conforms to their bizarre worldview.

The pharming industry’s black propaganda against the Animals rights movement is intended to make it difficult for the media and the public to listen to what Animal rightists have to say - or believe in what they say. Quite transparently, the more the Animal terrorism industry is able to persuade the public that Animal rights is an extremist creed, the more difficult it is for the public to treat Animal rightists seriously.

Even though the Animal terrorist industry, including the pharming industry, murders hundreds of billions of Animals every year, they depict those who protest against the greatest mass murder ever witnessed on Earth as terrorists. Carnivores really need to face up to what they are - evil mass murdering scumbags who are not merely destroying every living creature on Earth but, even more critically, destroying the life of the Earth.

The Animal terrorist industry and the pharmer loving media have fostered in the public such a degree of hostility towards Animal rightists that the media just dismisses Animal welfarists’ complaints about conditions on pharms around the country. This means Animal welfarists are rendered helpless to stop the eruption of epidemics. Even worse is that now that pharmers know their critics have been politically neutered they know they can continue with their appalling pharming practices without the least prospect of being exposed by Animal rightists - and receive vast subsidies for any diseases which might emerge from such practices.

The Animal terrorism industry and the media has whipped up huge amounts of public sympathy for pharmers over the bse, and the f&m, epidemics. This is because firstly, they lost “their” Animals (sic) and, secondly, because they are the victims of ‘acts of nature’ beyond their control. This deters people from criticizing pharmers because they don’t want to kick anyone whilst they’re down. The media also deters criticisms of pharmers because of what pharmers were supposedly suffering - severe withdrawal pains from their lifetime addiction to government subsidies. The media presents pharmers as cute, friendly, little teddy bears even though pharmers’ propaganda consists of the usual nasty, vicious, right wing, ‘survival of the fittest’ extremism.

The putrid views of leanda de lisle have been highlighted above. The poor woman is a victim of her own anti Animal rights’ paranoia. She was planning to attend the 2001 countryside march, and hired a house sitter for when she was away - only to discover the girl was a vegetarian. (What a crime!!!!). She was so petrified of having a vegetarian in her house she asked the local constabulary to forget about any riots in city centre pubs in order to drive past her house in case this vegetarian, who was more than likely to be an arsonist, decided to torch her home, “So much time, effort and money has gone into arranging the march that I wouldn't at first believe it. I had arranged for a vegetarian and her family to guard my home while I was away. I was planning on getting the police involved, too, as paranoia had come to me early.” [31] She wants public sympathy for the imaginary terrors inflicted on her by her image of Animal rightists as terrorists but, in reality, what is happening here is that the terror she’s been inflicting on Animals is finally seeping into her gore-filled, bloody, conscience.

The house of commons and the house of lords are full of pharmers and are like pharmers’ clubs where any talk of laws against pharmers is treated with contempt. These are places where Animal terrorists meet to plot and conspire about further ways of blackening the Animal rights movement. As far as they are concerned the huge benefit of this black propaganda is that it prevents Animal rightists from trying to prevent epidemics. Pharmers like epidemics because they mean more subsidies. The last thing they want is for Animal rightists to stop epidemics. The biggest benefit of this black propaganda is that it not merely deters Animal rightists from stopping epidemics, it also allows the Animal terrorists to blame Animal rightists for causing the epidemics.

Given that pharmers’ criminality helped to spread f&m, it could be argued that the f&m epidemic is retribution for pharmers’ criminality. It is the inevitable outcome of the corruption of the country’s political system by the landowning pharming elite.

The maffia’s failure to stop the spread of bse and bse-cjd was so stark and yet, quite ludicrously, they were left in charge of combating the f&m epidemic. Quite how their failure over bse qualified them to handle the f&m epidemic is a total mystery.

The f&m outbreak erupted in northumberland. This was where the second fuel tax protest began in november 2000, so is it possible these pharmers might have been responsible for spreading the disease?

The f&m epidemic is also just retribution for Sheep pharmers because they refused to introduce a Sheep tagging system (passport system) so that all Sheep in the country could be identified and their location traced. One of the main reasons the bse epidemic was so bad was because Cattle pharmers refused to tag their Animals. The reason that Sheep pharmers refused to implement this policy was because it prevented them from indulging in their criminal ‘bed and breakfasting’ activities stealing european community subsidies, “Maff officials failed to implement a European directive on tagging sheep and goats which could have made it easier to track animals infected with foot and mouth, it emerged last night, writes Nick Fielding. The directive, drawn up in 1992, requires British farmers either to tag or tattoo their animals before they leave the farm where they were born. However, while the rest of Europe implemented the scheme - in most cases years ago - in Britain it was introduced only on January 1, just weeks before the outbreak. As a result Maff officials have spent hours during the present crisis attempting to find out the origins of particular animals that have been sent to market, bought by dealers and then moved on to other farms. Hardly any farms had started to implement the scheme by the time the outbreak started in mid-February. Britain delayed so long with the scheme, known as the Sheep and Goats Identification Order 2000, that last year it was threatened with prosecution by the European commission.” [32] What’s more amazing is that the government provided Sheep pharmers with huge subsidies; Sheep pharmers then engage in criminal activities to obtain even more subsidies; and when pharmers triggered off the f&m epidemic the government rewards their criminality with even greater subsidies. There surely can’t be any criminal in society who doesn’t look at the pharming industry and say to themselves that if pharmers are subsidized for their criminal activities then why aren’t we?

In brutland during the f&m epidemic, the government shut down the entire countryside and severely damaged the country’s tourist industry, estimated to be worth £65 billion a year, just for the sake of an industry which has an export value of a mere £0.5 billion. This is the greatest act of economic self sacrifice ever carried out by a supposedly democratically elected government in the capitalist era. It was utterly senseless. Economic madness. Completely irrational. In the past, many governments around the world have subsidized industries which have been going through a temporary economic downturn, or needed assistance whilst they gained a foothold in the market, or required support as a strategically important industry. Everytime governments’ subsidized an industry, for whatever reason, they correspondingly fail to help other struggling, or temporarily unprofitable, industries which could also benefit from a subsidy. But never before has there been a government which not merely subsidized an industry which has no hope of surviving without perpetual subsidies, but sacrifices far bigger, and more profitable, industries in order to protect that industry. The pharming industry requires continuous financial assistance especially because increasing numbers of people don’t want to eat its shit-riddled, disease infested, products. The labour government subsidizes the Animal slavery industry to the tune of £6 billion a year, sacrificing schools, hospitals and pensioners in the process, just to prop up an increasingly unpopular industry. Then it turns around and wonders why vast numbers of people stopped voting at the 2001 general election.

In the early 1990s the tory government had to pull out of the european community’s exchange rate mechanism and put up taxes. The government was despised for breaking its promises not to increase taxes and the electoral tide began to turn against it. The only populist policies the tories had left to save themselves from defeat at the 1997 general election were patriotism and the continual denunciation of the european community. Even though a significant proportion of the country’s trade took place with europe, the tories did everything they could to belittle european co-operation. In 1996 the european community banned brutland’s brain rotting products from being sold on the world market and tory mps went ballistic with anger. The tiny minority of eurosceptic tory mps grew into a substantial minority. In the run up to the 1997 national election, the tory government refused to reduce income tax by 2p and chose to dole out vast subsidies to the pharming industry to compensate pharmers for the worldwide ban on bseef. The tory government was quite willing to sacrifice its own political prospects for the sake of providing pharmers with more subsidies. Bse filled the minds of tory mps with such madness that their only policy in the 1997 general election was patriotism and, in the 2001 general election, it was euroscepticemia. In september 2001, the ageing, decrepid, tory party membership voted for ian duncan smith as its party leader - a eurosceptic now led the tory party. The ten year transformation of the tory party from a mainstream party to an extreme right wing eurosceptic party was brought about primarily by the spread of bse.

Pharmers are turning out to be the country’s greatest economic saboteurs in recent history. Firstly, ever since the labour party won the 1997 general election, they’ve been picketing industries up and down the country. Then they organized the fuel tax insurrection. Then they were responsible for the autumn 2000 floods. Now the f&m disease. What other industry could do so much damage to the country’s economy? They could even be regarded as environmental heroes since the result of their sabotage was a (temporary) ban on Animal transport; a dramatic reduction in the number of tourists flying into this shit riddled country; and a reduction in the numbers of people taking car journeys into the countryside. In effect, this is pharmers only environmental policy. For the first time in their lives they are actually protecting the environment rather than decimating it.

The bse epidemic provided the organic pharming movement with a major political opportunity to expose the inadequacies of conventional pharming. The organic pharming movement tried to widen the contrast between organic pharming and conventional pharming by claiming it was free of bse - even though virtually all organic pharmers fed their Animals on the same bse-infected meat and bone meal as conventional pharmers, and then sold these cadavers, at a premium, as wholesome, natural products! Huge numbers of people were taken in by this organic pharming propaganda. Livestock consumers began buying organic pharm produce, despite the fact that it was more expensive than its conventional counterparts, because they believed that organic products were healthier, and better for the environment, than those produced by intensive pharming.

As far as Animal welfare is concerned, organic pharming seems to be far better than intensive pharming. Firstly, whilst intensive pharming rears slave Animals in notoriously cramped and over-crowded conditions forcing Animals to endure all sorts of deformities and cruelties, organic pharming allows its slaves the freedom to graze peacefully in fields. The intensive Animal slavery industry sprays Animals with insecticides, regularly doses them with antibiotics to ward off infections, and plies them with hormone growth boosters to increase their weight, etc which should not happen in the organic Animal slavery industry.

Firstly, “As a device for spreading disease, the classic farmyard could scarcely be bettered. Where cattle, pigs, chicken and sheep share the same soil, you have the perfect conditions for breeding new strains of viral illness. The cattle industry in America's Midwest was once threatened by a disease known as "mad itch", a 19th century mad cow disease that caused cattle to rub their coats maniacally against fenceposts for a few days before dying. The disease was conquered when it was found that it was transmitted by pigs. The move to more industrialised farming, where cattle and pigs were separated, eradicated the disease.” [33]

Secondly, the intensive Animal slavery industry is much less vulnerable to f&m disease than organic pharming. The disease can be transmitted via wind and rain so whilst intensively reared Animals are protected from the elements, organically reared Animals, being free range, are not. The f&m epidemic has primarily affected the Sheep industry because most Sheep are grazed on pastureland whereas slave Animals confined to factory pharms, most notably Pigs, have hardly been affected by the epidemic.

It is at this point that it is necessary to make a crucial distinction between small scale intensive pharming and large scale intensive pharming. The former consists of small sized farms which are family-owned or rented from one of the country’s landowning elite. This is the public’s image of the country’s average pharmer. The latter type of pharm is capital intensive, mass production, pharming which is owned by a multi-national corporation or a member of the landowning elite. Factory pharms are more like rural factories than pharms. In brutland it is believed that roughly 50% of the country’s pharms are family run businesses. They have been depicted as “hobby” pharmers who survive only because of the huge subsidies they receive year after year. Without these subsidies they would have gone out of business years ago. They make no significant contribution to the country’s pharming output and contribute little to the country’s economic productivity. Small scale conventional pharmers proudly proclaim their independence from the state and corporate interests but they’re basically a bunch of welfare benefit scroungers who are on a highly subsidized job protection racket which lasts their entire lifetime.

One of the most blatant differences between small scale conventional/organic pharming and large scale corporate pharming is that whilst the former claim to look after the well being of their slave Animals, the latter deal with such huge numbers of slave Animals it is impossible for them to give any personal attention to particular Animals. Small scale conventional/organic pharmers often give their slave Animals a name and appreciate their identities as unique individuals, whereas factory pharmers have no time even to name their slave Animals. During epidemics, small scale conventional/organic pharmers claim to be on such intimate terms with their slave Animals they even share a laugh and a joke. Thus, as regards the treatment of Animals and Animal health, organic pharming seems to have a huge advantage over factory pharming.

There are three major forms of pharming in brutland and around the world - organic pharming, small scale conventional intensive pharming and large scale, corporate, intensive pharming. At first it seems as if the small scale conventional/organic pharming industries have huge advantages in protecting Animal health over the corporate Animal slavery industry and yet, on closer inspection, this is not the case. The last two major epidemics in brutland were caused, or exacerbated, by small scale, ‘independent’ pharmers engaged in criminal activities. The public’s perception is that small scale pharmers look after their Animals better than corporate pharmers but the fact is that they are prone to criminal temptation because of the subsidies on offer and their activities are unsupervisable - neither of which is the case with large scale factory pharming. Small scale organic pharmers will always try to cut corners in order to increase their profits whereas the large scale pharming industry cannot afford to do this because it is supervised. There is no guarantee that, in the future, small scale pharmers, in a desperate attempt to cut their costs, will never again feed their Animals with swill. Only large scale, intensive pharms run by multinational corporations are capable of being monitored to prevent them from feeding swill to their Animals.

The above analysis explored the effects of different pharming regimes on the health of slave Animals. The fewer the diseases that Animals have, the less chance there is of Animals passing on these diseases to oomans. The place which determines how many Animal diseases are transferred from Animals to oomans is abattoirs. The dirtiest abattoirs will pass on the most diseases when oomans consume these rotting corpses.

It has been pointed out earlier that the european community forced brutland to close large numbers of its local abattoirs because they were dirtier than public lavatories. For decades, local concentration camps had disregarded all government health and safety legislation. In order to increase profits, companies put their workers on piece rates which meant that if workers obeyed every health and safety regulation they’d never earn a good wage. In effect, the piece-rate system gave workers a financial incentive to ignore every health and safety regulation. In addition, there were so many local abattoirs it was impossible for the government’s health inspectors to supervise them properly to ensure they were carrying out good working practices and maintaining hygienic conditions. As a consequence, conditions in brutland’s local abattoirs had been in an appalling state for a long time and they’d deteriorated to such an extent they were little more than disease distribution centres. It has only been since the construction of a smaller number of large scale, centralized abattoirs that it has become possible for health authorities to monitor working practices and conditions which should limit the spread of diseases.

Although organically reared Animals are far less unhealthier, far less unfit, and not filled with as many chemicals, as intensively reared Animals, the independent pharming sector was responsible for spreading bse. Bse is the most lethal threat to have emerged out of the industry in the last decade or so. It is by far and away the deadliest threat that pharmers pose to oomans. Correspondingly, ooman health seems to be threatened as much by small scale conventional/organic pharming as it does by large scale intensive pharming. It has to be suggested that organic pharming’s image as being pure, wholesome, and natural, is a fabrication. To the extent that organic pharming necessitates local abattoirs which, because they are unsupervisable, quickly become disease production centres then organic pharming may be a bigger threat to ooman health than large scale corporate pharming relying on centralized abattoirs.

As far as the Earth is concerned, the large scale intensive Animal exploitation industry is far less damaging to the environment than organic pharming. Organic pharming is free range pharming which requires a far bigger area of pastureland to produce the same quantity of cadavers as the intensive Animal exploitation industry. If the intensive pharming industry was replaced by organic pharming then the world’s remaining Forests would almost certainly have to be chopped down and replaced by pasture. Organic farming .. "has resulted in drastic forest clearance, habitat destruction, ecological disruption and loss of species and genetic diversity for thousands of years world-wide; a one-off ecological cost of huge proportions hardly made up for by the sustainability of the pharming practices carried out on the cleared land." [35]

The large scale intensive Animal exploitation industry has two basic advantages over organic pharming. Firstly, it is better for the Earth than organic pharming. Secondly, as regards ooman health, whilst it is possible for governments to supervise and monitor large scale factory pharming and centralized abattoirs this is not possible with small scale pharming. Small scale pharming involves too many pharmers and local abattoirs for effective monitoring. This factor alone ought to mean the abolition of small scale pharming and its replacement by large-scale factory pharming.

When trying to decide which industry to support, and how to resolve the dilemma just outlined, it has to be suggested that the Animal welfare issue should be ignored. This might seem a somewhat surprising stance for an ardent Animal rightist. The critical point leading to the conclusion that Animal welfare should be ignored is because the ultimate objective is the abolition of the Animal exploitation industry not the reform of this industry i.e. reducing the pain that oomans inflict on Animals.

The large scale intensive factory pharming industry is run by a minimum number of workers who know virtually nothing about pharming, nature, or the Earth because the industry’s intense division of labour means they don’t need to know about such things in order to do their job. They have little connection with the land or with Animals. They are virtually like any other factory worker. They clock on, do their job, get little job satisfaction, clock off, and live their lives outside work. Their political attitudes are likely to be little different from that of any other urban, manual worker i.e. vaguely left of centre.

Thankfully there were some greens who questioned the f&m mass cull, “I wonder, also, whether the killing and burning of hundreds of Animals which may have been in contact with foot and mouth cases is not an overreaction. The disease is not fatal, it does not threaten people and inoculation can successfully overcome its spread. Professor donald wilhelm of cambridge is involved in overseas development in both africa and russia and has seen inoculation used extremely successfully. Sadly maff insists upon sticking to an old policy.” [36]

“For surely, there cannot be any doubt that intensive farming is at least partly responsible for the horrific outbreaks of mad cow disease and now foot and mouth” [37]

“The disease's escalating effects, the draconian control measures and the unanimously sombre tone of commentators, all suggest that the country must be facing a devastating killer plague. But we aren't. Yet ­ despite the draconian measures ­ f&m is a mild disease, from which animals recover naturally and quickly. It has only been turned into a disaster by the heedless intensification of agriculture over the past 50 years.” [38]

Greens blamed the f&m epidemic on the intensive pharming industry rather than the criminal activities of small scale, conventional, pharmers. They blamed centralized abattoirs. They are now demanding the construction of hundreds of local abattoirs. Who would have thought that a party devoted to love and peace would end up demanding local concentration and extermination camps for the sake of organic pharming which would devastate the Earth’s life support system?

.. “in the past decade consumption - and the price paid to farmers (for milk) - has fallen dramatically. Farmers' pickets at processing plants and supermarkets over beef and lamb are being repeated by dairymen. Should we worry whether the black and white beasts that adorn the pages of nursery books may soon disappear? Or should our sympathy for farmers be tempered by the welfare failures of intensive dairy farming, the consequences of the sector's large share of bse casualties and the suspicion that the whole industry has fallen foul of a subsidy system that once helped bring fat profits that were never reinvested? ” [39]

“Britain pioneered the intensification (of pharming) on this side of the Atlantic. No European country has pursued it so relentlessly, or has so ruthlessly driven small farmers to the wall to benefit richer ones: more than 330,000 farms ­ two-thirds of the total ­ have been forced out of business since 1945.” [40]

“We are now in danger of losing our rural culture completely. The tragedy, however, is not that foot and mouth is here, but that the epidemic need not have happened. Our politicians and farming bureaucrats simply do not learn. The message from bse was that industrialized, over-intensive farming carries many dangers and the time had come for a change. Nothing changed. However, the disease arrived, it was subsequently trailed across the country by transporting animals unacceptable distances for slaughter - all because of “industrialized” farming. The man in charge of overseeing regulation, including livestock slaughter and transportation, is lord haskins. He is chairman of the better Regulation Task Force, and also chairman of northern foods and express dairies. He is one of the biggest supporters of industrial farming in this country, is a europhile and he has ready access to both tony blair and nick brown. Since 1992 he has given large donations to the labour party and was made a peer in 1998. Does farming in this country have a future? The way forward according to tim lang is “ecology friendly pharming”. The countryside restoration trust of which i am chairperson, has been carrying this out in cambridgeshire for several years. We are producing good quality food; our livestock is killed locally and wildlife is flooding back.” [41] These greens are allowing Wildlife to “flood back” into their renewal of the countryside because they are needed for Animal terrorism, but they wouldn’t allow the sort of Wildlife which might attack livestock i.e. Wolves and Bears, etc. If Wolves and Bears suddenly started appearing on his pharm greens would be out there with the rest of the ecologist collective armed to the teeth exterminating these Animals to express their superiority as a member of the eco-nazi master race.

The f&m epidemic was one of the most immoral, hideous, and disgusting events ever witnessed in this country. The Animal slavery industry slaughtered nearly 4 million Animals for having a disease which is like a severe dose of the flu and from which most Animals recover. Indeed, in the late summer they were slaughtering Animals which had recovered months previously from the disease. They carried out this slaughter in order to maintain the country’s disease free status (sic). The reason that pampered, welfare benefit sponging, pharmers could afford to slaughter their Animals and then replace them with disease free Animals was solely because the government gave them the subsidies to do so.

Animals were systematically rounded up and shot. At one point the rate of slaughter reached over 32,000 Animals a day. Most of the slaughter took place under cover because the government didn’t want the media to record what was happening.

In the early part of the epidemic, the rate of slaughter was far greater than the rate of burial which meant that in many places around the country dead Animals were left rotting in fields.

After being murdered the Animals were piled into waste disposal lorries like so much garbage.

The slaughter of so many Animals did not proceed efficiently. There were occasions when the system simply broke down and the murdering continued on a cruel, slapstick level. James whitaker reported that, “It is becoming clear that the weeks of culling have been more brutal and unpleasant than we had wanted to believe. In the 10 days up to the announcement by maff that there had been no new outbreaks of the disease, ministry and army killer squads slaughtered more than a quarter of a million animals on more than 1,000 farms. In one eight day period this month the ministry admitted they’d killed out an average of 125 farms a day, leaving nothing standing. The daily average of killings was 32,000. Our soldiers who have been co-opted in to act as death squads are becoming sickened with their role. One member of the green howards .. writes about finishing off these “innocenti” by hitting them with a blunt instrument or drowning them in a nearby river. He talks of a “mate” standing by as a sow gave birth. As each piglet arrived, it was this soldier’s job to smash it with a shovel. Presumably after mum had done the business, she too was done away with. These same soldiers are apparently having to “finish” off cows allegedly shot and dispatched by slaughtermen. We are told, “Some are still crawling around, others clearly still alive but unable to move. We have to beat them to death with lorry spanners. If people really knew what was going on i’d think there’d be a revolution. Rise up and revolt.” [42] Noel edmonds, the former tv star who owns an 850 acre stud and sheep farm in hatherleigh, devon, claimed, “Our newspapers are full of images of korean dogs prepared for the meal table, but we, a supposedly civilized and enlightened nation are committing far greater animal atrocities. Maff .. the killing machine that is now out of control. It is no doubt filling a political agenda but, in doing so, is demonstrating a total disregard for human rights and animal welfare. People have told me hardened soldiers, broken by the brutality of killing healthy animals, have drowned lambs because the alternative was just too sickening. The maff machine, the killing teams, are destroying not diseased animals but millions of healthy creatures and now they have to be told, enough.” [43]

“This is the brutal reality of the foot and mouth cull - a marksman standing in a field taking pot-shots at sheep. But there is no quick end for the panicking animals. Instead, the council-hired slaughterman has to chase after wounded sheep to finish them off with his rifle. The sickening scenes were videod in south wales by a couple who told yesterday how shocked residents pleaded in vain for the inhuman killing to stop.” [45]

“Terrified sheep have been found alive among piles of carcasses, it was revealed last night. Rspca chiefs launched a probe after a sheep leapt from a dumper truck full of 200 culled foot and mouth bodies at an army controlled mass grave. Horrified onlookers watched as soldiers chased the animal in a land rover before slaughtering it. One said, “It was barbaric. I saw the truck dump sheep in the pit. Suddenly one of them in the pile of rotting carcasses started running around. The thought of this poor sheep being jammed in with a load of dead animals is disgusting.”” [46]

Even after they’d been murdered, the dead weren’t left in peace, “Another 1,000 animals are to be dug up at a country durham farm after it emerged a drain was cut through when they were buried.” [47] ; “The rotting carcasses of almost 900 animals are to be dug up because they were buried in the wrong place .. Ministry of agriculture officials allowed an “unsuitable” site for the disposal of 650 cattle and 242 sheep killed because of foot and mouth. Now the environment agency has warned the carcasses could pollute an underground spring which runs two villages and supplies farms. The blunder was uncovered after domestic water at Low Houselope farm near tow law, county durham became discoloured. An environment agency spokeswoman said last night, “We advised this site was not suitable but that advice was not followed.”” [48]

“A gruesome clean-up operation was underway last night after a road was flooded with blood from foot and mouth carcasses. Heavy rain washed blood and fluid from 6,000 dead sheep on to the B4080 from bredon to tewkesbury in gloucestershire. There was a second horror when two slaughtered cows were hurled from the back of a lorry carrying them to a landfill site. The dead animals were catapulted onto the a40 near gloucester when the doors sprang open.” [49]

“Five hundred animals were culled by mistake because blundering vets could not read a map. Maff said the mistake was deeply regretted and the couple would be fully compensated.” [50]

The slaughter of such a huge number of Animals was carried out not for Animal health, ooman health, or safety reasons, but simply to maintain brutland’s disease free status around the world which, considering that many Animals are riddled with bse, is quite an achievement. This slaughter is one of the most sickening, appalling, disgusting, and barbaric, crimes that oomans have carried out in the modern era. Treating Animals as lumps of meat is bad enough but to slaughter them because they would reduce pharmers’ profits is a moral depravity. One day the people involved in this crime against Animalkind are going to have to stand trial for what they have done and the most important person to be arrested and put on trial will be butcher mcblair.

After the slaughter and funeral pyres of march 2001 it is no longer possible to doubt that pharmland uk is one of the most degenerate and depraved countries in the world. This is nazism in its modern guise. The funeral pyres send out the message to the rest of the world that this is a land is run by Animal terrorists of the most extreme kind. The aristocratic, pharming elite treats its slave Animals as nothing more than lumps of meat whilst milking the consumer livestock for gargantuan subsidies. If anyone wanted proof that brutland is ruled by eco-nazis then these funeral pyres are it.

The Animals enslaved by the brutish eco-nazis do not like being slaughtered but they would rather be slaughtered and burnt on funeral pyres than provide any nourishment for hordes of demented, insane, obscene, eco-nazi scumbags. They say that as long as they are costing the eco-nazis as much money as possible then they are contributing to the fight against evil. There is nothing else they can do. The mass cull slowed down the industrialized slaughter process thereby giving these Animals a few extra days of life than they would not otherwise have had.

The f&m disease could easily have torn europe apart. If the disease had spread to europe and countries had turned on each other in order to defend their pharmers’ interests then the european union could have collapsed. Fortunately, the right wing, tory, eurosceptic, extremists weren’t able to take political advantage of europe’s ban on the export of brutish cadavers as they had done over europe’s ban on the export of brutish bseef. They could have helped brutish pharmers to push the public into a trade war with europe as they tried to do over the ban on brutish bseef.

The f&m epidemic was an economic disaster which small scale pharmers inflicted on themselves, the rest of the Animal exploitation industry, and society as a whole. In the past pharmers have been supported by all sections of society not merely by carnivores but, most intensely, by all those who live and work in rural areas - after all, they have, to an extent, indirectly benefited from the subsidies that pharmer politicians have managed to extract from the political system for their own industry. However, the f&m epidemic showed that pharmers were willing to sacrifice their greatest allies and friends in order to survive. Rural industries began to desert the pharming industry in order to try and save themselves.

“In the war against foot and mouth no prisoners are taken. Last week it was as if the Blitz had returned. Footpaths and National Trust sites were closed. Crufts dog show was postponed, as was the Wales v Ireland rugby international. Many horse racing meetings were cancelled. Nearly every big zoo and safari park was shut. The Prince of Wales appealed for the public not to make unnecessary forays into the countryside. Hunting was suspended and horse owners feared their animals would be shot if they went anywhere near an outbreak of the dreaded disease.” [51] “All national parks and 2,500 nature reserves have been shut down.” [52] ; “And Britain had a Keep Out countryside. Every footpath in every national park is closed, as are all but 20 of the National Trust's properties, and all two-and-a-half million acres of the Forestry Commission's land.” [53] “They have been forced to cancel weekend walks in the countryside because the Government has closed footpaths and threatened anybody who defies the ban with a £5,000 fine. National parks, National Trust estates and some zoos are also closed. Holidays and country cottage breaks planned for the Easter holidays are also in jeopardy.” [54]

The industry hardest hit by the pharming industry’s closure of the countryside was the Horse flogging industry. It was in such a desperate state that it was forced to hold meetings even though this significantly increased the prospects of spreading the disease. It enraged pharmers who felt their livelihood being put at risk. The haulage industry was affected but soon found work moving carcasses around the country. After the f&m epidemic is over, pharmers are going to find themselves with far fewer friends than before the start of the epidemic.

At the same time as pharmers were forcing the countryside to shut down, they were becoming more and more opposed to the restrictions on the movement of their Animals. In other words, pharmers were doing their best to impose the costs of the epidemic on their rural friends whilst doing the minimum they could get away with.

The f&m epidemic was the third time pharmers had brought the country to a standstill within a matter of six months and the only response of mcblair’s government was to do everything it could to restore pharmers’ subsidies so that, once the disease is over, livestock Animals could once again gambol around the countryside until the next epidemic - which is invariably going to happen because of the country’s open border system.

More and more civilized countries are discouraging citizens from visiting the country, “Austria is advising its people not to travel to the UK as fears over the spread of foot-and-mouth disease grow. The country has already banned all imports of meat, milk products and live animals from Britain.” [55]

Brutland has colossal Carbon debts because it exports so much pollution into the atmosphere and imports minuscule quantities of Carbon from the atmosphere through Photosynthesis. It is one of the main contributors to the destabilization of the climate. Brutland could implement policies for combating global burning which, rather than costing vast amounts of money, would reap a truly massive profit. There are very few occasions in the short history of global burning when a dramatic policy to combat rising temperatures could be implemented for a huge profit. How is this possible? Simply by allowing vastly subsidized pharmers to go out of business and allowing their land to return to what the Earth would like it to be i.e. Reforested.
