Veterinary Services Express Concern Over Interference in Foot-and-Mouth Disease Control

Veterinary Services express strong concern over incidents of interference with their work during efforts to control foot-and-mouth disease in Livadia. Specifically, a farmer obstructed the culling process, contributing to the spread of the virus, and more animals were found than declared. The services emphasize that the vast majority of farmers are cooperating, but isolated cases are undermining the effort. They warn that strict adherence to the law is essential to protect the livestock sector and call for responsibility, honesty, and compliance from all. They also thank other services assisting in crisis management.
