Veterinary Services: Isolated Cases Undermine Efforts to Control Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Veterinary Services express concern over the non-compliance of some livestock farmers in efforts to control foot-and-mouth disease. Despite the cooperation of the majority of farmers, isolated cases of sabotage endanger the livestock sector. Specifically, an incident was reported in Livadia where a farmer obstructed the services, leading to the discovery of more cases than initially reported. The services emphasize the need for responsibility, honesty, and full compliance with protocols, while thanking other services (Police, National Guard, Game Service, Forestry Department) for their assistance.
