Amen to that Lisa - it's a terrible time. The most horrific scenes are becoming a daily trial and the farming community is living in fear.
Salisbury Plain has been closed to the army and to the public, the Forestry Commision has closed all it's land and the National Trust has closed most of it's properties. All racing has now been suspended in Northern Ireland and one man has been arrested suspected of transporting sheep into the Republic of Ireland.
Many sheep are running low on their grazing and are about to lamb in fields far from home as they cannot be moved.
Everything must be done to help stop the spread of this disease and I'm sure that the majority of the owners of the twenty thousand dogs due to take part at Cruft's will understand and support the action.
