I'm kinda surprised they're not just isolating those cows or something but now we gotta miss out on the whole cattle thing? 75% of France's agricultural exports rely on beef, and this is gonna hurt the economy hard . On a brighter note, the show is getting some fresh faces (and species ) with all those other animals joining in . The attendance might drop but at least we'll have more diverse interests . Did you know that France's lumpy skin disease outbreak has been linked to 15% of cases being caused by imported cattle? Maybe this is the wake-up call for better animal import regulations?
I'm surprised they're even hosting an event when 100+ outbreaks have been detected in France! How can you guarantee the cows are safe from lumpy skin disease? Need more info on how it's being tested and treated before allowing them to show off their moos. This isn't just about cow welfare, but public health too...
I'm really surprised they're doing this . I mean, the whole thing is about showcasing farming and agriculture, right? And cows are like, super iconic . I get that they want to avoid spreading the disease, but it's not just a one-way street – what about all the tourism money that'll be lost with no cattle at the show? And what about the farmers who rely on the event as their main source of income? I hope they're prepared for the economic hit . Maybe they could've found other solutions, like testing the animals more thoroughly or having a separate section just for the infected ones? Just saying...
