Culling and Vaccination Plan for Foot-and-Mouth Disease
June 3, 2026
The situation surrounding foot-and-mouth disease is concerning veterinary services, as 6,000 animals from infected farms need to be culled immediately. Farm owners are resisting this process, leading to increased involvement from the military and police. Vaccination efforts are ongoing, with nearly 1,000,000 new doses expected soon. Compensation for affected farmers is proceeding, although a legal issue has arisen regarding one specific farmer. The government is showing strict adherence to biosecurity measures.
