THE FOOT & MOUTH DISASTER OF 2001
" Today Cumbria is still seared on my soul. Air crashes, road accidents, riots, the odd murder, nothing in 25 years of reporting had ever prepared me for the scale of human trauma I experienced that mad March weekend last year. It was unutterably brutal"
Jon Snow Channel 4
I captured this iconic image in March 2001, not too far from my house.
This unnecessary, illegal & brutal killing went on for a year!
The Chairman of The Lakeland Vets. said:
“We instinctively knew what we were doing was wrong”.
I wrote to him & asked why they continued doing it?
I never received a reply!
