Taken from the 'Alberta' Canada. Seems that the Goverment there / their Dafra have double standards too!

As deadly horse virus spreads across the nation, rodeos and horse shows rethink plans

Share|BOISE, Idaho - The number of horses infected with the deadly and contagious Equine Herpes Virus-1 continues to grow. The USDA says the outbreak that started at an Ogden, Utah competition has infected at least 34 horses in nine states and Canada.

 

That's got some owners, like cowgirl Tricia Lynn Crump, taking extra precautions at the height of show season. Crump, who is Idaho's reigning Miss Rodeo, won't be astride a horse in Nampa's annual Parade America on Saturday. Instead she'll be riding in a stagecoach because she's leaving her own horses at home to keep them safe.

 

Fewer people are showing up to compete on a professional rodeo circuit, and some horse sales, shows and rodeos are being cancelled in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus.

How come the government isn't jumping the gun and having a mass slaughter of horses, mules, donkey's and anything else that might resemble a horse, like they did when the avian virus broke out.

Hell, if it had feathers it was a carrier,(in their eye's).

You'd think the government would at least step in and quarantine them all.

Double standards
