Extensive farming is still unfair for animals.

It's like closing innocent people in a 5 stars hotel before killing them when they are teenagers... Even if this solution would be better than keeping them in GUantanamo jail, they don't deserve this death....

It's obvious that this kind of farm is better than factory farms.

But these animals, here, are still considered as sources of benefits, of busyness... So they are not fondamentaly respected, as their own interest to keep alive is less important than the money this man want to earn killing them...and obviously less important than the taste people feel eating them...

It's clearly true what you say...

The best way to respect animals, is to stop exploiting them, is to stop consuming them.

Veganism is the best solution.

When the government helps hell freezes over. They need to help the farmers.

Interesting that Pirbright has not been closed after this outbreak, or even been held responsible, what else was released into the environment along with F&M? can we trust the goverment to protect UK farms? How can scientists so accurately predict blue tongue will next strike UK farms in the thousands, even down to a date in March 2008, It make me wonder if along with Foot and mouth, Blue tongue, Bird Flu, mad cow disease, are UK farms are being wiped off the map with a hidden agenda
