Answers

What is the ALBC's position on the hoof/mouth situation in Europe? With complete herds of hoofed animals being slaughtered,(and who knows WHAT'll happen here in the US when it arrives) and the gene pool being drained rapidly, they (the ALBC) must have serious concerns. So far, their website has had no response.
