  HK - Sreptococcus suis         


Author: Pat Gardiner
Date: Jul 14, 2008 09:49

Pat's Note: Sreptococcus suis is found in pigs and in Britain. This
merely underlines the dangers of allowing Britain's bent government
vets to rampage about the countryside without proper supervision.

Test fakers and their apologists should have been thrown out years ago
and replaced with "clean" vets, if necessary from overseas.

Still MRSA and C.Diff are the big problems at the moment. the
corruption surrounding this issue is going to wipe out pig farming in
Britain, unless the government at PM level steps in right now.

The industry is running out of time in a welter of hot air and talked
up markets.

Issuing false new reports to move a market price is an offence, unless
of course, you are an irresponsible rather thick vet and have Crown
Immunity.

Then you just sit there, sticking two fingers up at the world.

  BPEX - MRSA - British pork exports rise rapidly         


Author: Pat Gardiner
Date: Jul 14, 2008 05:53

Pat's Notes:

BPEX has done a brilliant job. Stand by for the writs claiming
multi-million pound damages, deception, fraud and probably double
parking as well.

BritainÂ’s bent government vets are going to have to bail BPEX out for
feeding them lies. It is going to cost the taxpayer another fortune
and is a kick in the teeth for all BritainÂ’s honest exporters.

Still thatÂ’s what you get in the worldÂ’s first vetocracy: rich vets, a
bust economy and national shame for allowing such crooks into a
position of power.

The Prime Minister is going to have to act.

  MRSA found in US pigs         


Author: Pat Gardiner
Date: Jul 14, 2008 01:49

Pat's Note: Published this morning by the publsihers of Farmers Weekly
in Holland.

One wishes they were a bit more interested in the state of Britain's
pigs.

If they don't know they can always ask Defra. Second thoughts, they
would not get the truth out of them.

The Prime Minister is going to have to make a statement very soon.

MRSA found in US pigs// 14 Jul 2008

University of Iowa scientists have conducted the first test of US
swine for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the
bacterium responsible for more than 18,000 US deaths.

Of the 200 pigs the team tested, 70 percent carried a strain of MRSA,
ST398, a strain that is known to affect humans.

The scientists found that almost half of 20 workers on local pig farms
carried the same strain of MRSA, suggesting a route to the wider
community. So far no one has tested MRSA patients in US hospitals to
identify whether they carry the same strain.

  MRSA - "Promises will not save lives now"         


Author: Pat Gardiner
Date: Jul 14, 2008 01:37

Pat's Note: Pretty sensible stuff.

Neither ultra- clean hospitals or vaccines in ten years are the
answer. They have to get at the reservoirs of infection, not the
victims. And right now, not when Britain's corrupt vets give their
permission.

Publishing that British pigs are MRSA free and then having to "pull"
the story as untrue is grossly irresponsible.

The Prime Minister is going to have to act today.
