WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Foot & Mouth Breaks out in Zimbabwe
This article was in the Daily Mail & Guardian today.
ZIMBABWE’S struggling economy has suffered another blow with an outbreak
of foot-and-mouth cattle disease, forcing a halt in beef exports,
newspaper reports said on Tuesday.
The outbreak was detected August 16 outside Zimbabwe’s second city of
Bulawayo, according to the privately owned Daily News.
Some 800 of 7 680 cattle awaiting slaughter for export were believed to be
infected in the Willsgrove Feedlot, at the parastatal Cold Storage
Company, the paper said.
“As a precautionary measure, beef exports to the European Union and other
markets have been suspended until the situation is clear,” agriculture
secretary Ngoni Masoka told the state-run Herald newspaper.
Veterinary officials could not be reached for comment.
Zimbabwe exports beef to the EU, South Africa, and other African and Asian
markets.
Annual exports total more than $86-million, according to the Herald.
Masoka said the Department of Veterinary Services had enough vaccines to
deal with the outbreak.
The outbreak began after occupiers planning to resettle white-owned
ranches took down perimeter fences, leaving cattle to mingle with wild
animals from game parks, according to the Daily News.
An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Britain earlier this year led to
a massive slaughter of cattle. The disease is harmless to humans but
renders livestock virtually worthless. – AFP
