The first outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Indonesia in 36 years is raising alarm across Asia. As of July 21, 2022, more than 400,000 cows were reported to be infected with the virus that spreads rapidly through livestock populations and is difficult to eradicate. The disease is distinct from a viral infection found in humans, and it is seldom fatal in adult animals. But since outbreaks can be deadly for younger animals and permanently stifle growth and production in herds, mass culls are often ordered to stop foot-and-mouth outbreaks.

  1. My condolences to the families of the 6 million Covid-19 victims around the world,
    who lost their loved ones because of the Chinese🇨🇳 coverups and negligence at the Wuhan outbreak,
    and now are victims of continued coverup and misinformation by the Chinese regime which blocked the WHO's Phase-2 study into the Wuhan Lab.

  2. That is so sad. Cows are the real victims here. They are raised to be slaughtered and if they get sick, they are immediately killed. If a person commits a lot of sin in this life, punishment must be to be born a cow in the next, or chicken or pig
