An "extraordinarily crude, cold-blooded and lazy way for the government to deal with epidemic disease."

Reading thru the news and looking at the images, I am at loss for words. I am just very sorry.

This is an extremity of situations but brings to mind our local laws and regulations on animal welfare and control. Take a moment and ponder on our current situation and regulatory body on matters of animal welfare and control. On our methods of catching and especially, our methods of culling. Do you really know the truth? Or do you have some doubts?

What we do not know or do not understand, let us not be afraid or lazy to ask.

Ponder. Ask. Find out.

Many times we fall back on complacency, laziness, cowardice - not wanting to rock the boat - but if there are sure signs that some things are unacceptable, then let us take a stand and speak out.

For a very simple reason - why is there is no need for concealment unless some things cannot be revealed?

Let all matters be simple, open and clear. What is concealed, let it be revealed.
