I find this to be an uncaring stand taken by the sponsors for not informing the community and by putting that same community in danger by not cancelling this event in light of the severe weather warning. I will not be supporting events of this nature in future unless more consideration is given to the ticketholders. Ignorance, selfishness and greed are human weaknesses which affect, destroy and concern many. It is time that humans start viewing the manner in which the world mass produces animals for human satisfaction. The British government was uncertain how many animals were killed, but numbers ranged from one half million to one million.
Farmers are outraged that healthy animals are being destroyed to try to control the outbreak.
Consequently, food exports from Britain have been banned. Consumers are at the mercy of the producer because foods, particularly meats are not labelled as to where they are grown and manufactured. Humans are only concerned with their own lives, including family and money, and have little regard for other issues. Diseases occurring in other parts of the world shock, affect and worry us only briefly. Overall, the only way we can prevent this is if humans start treating animals equal to themselves.
