NFU (National Farmers' Union) Director of Communications Anthony Gibson arriving at news conference, followed by farmer Roger Pride and regional NFU representative John Archer 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Anthony Gibson, Director of Communications at National Farmers Union (NFU): "Certainly no one from the farm has had any contact with the Pirbright facility. We've always practised the highest standards of biosecurity at Woolford Farm, and have been meticulous with our record keeping and no animals have been moved onto, or off the farm since early June." 14. News conference 15. SOUNDBITE (English) Roger Pride, whose family runs Woolford Farm, site of first outbreak: "It's really our reputation more than any cost of animals and things. It's taken 20 years to build the shop up and we've got a good reputation; that's the sort of thing that is hard to get back again." 16. Cutaway 17. SOUNDBITE (English) Anthony Gibson, Director of Communications at National Farmers Union (NFU): "If the disease does get out of control, then things will look dreadful, frankly." 18. Gibson, Pride and Archer leaving EBS Brussels - 7 August, 2007 19. EU spokesman Philip Tod arriving for news conference 20. SOUNDBITE (English) Philip Tod, EU spokesman: "The European Commission was informed last night by the UK authorities of the suspicion of a second outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease on a holding which is situated in the protection zone near the first outbreak. In accordance with normal procedures, the UK authorities have ordered the culling of the animals on this holding as soon as possible." 21. Wide of news conference STORYLINE A report from Britain's Health and Safety Executive on the latest cases of foot-and-mouth disease amongst cattle in the county of Surrey said on Tuesday that there was a "real possibility" the disease was spread by human movement. It said that the chances it was caused by flooding or aerial transmission were "negligible". But the HSE's investigations failed to pinpoint the source as either the private Merial Animal Health Ltd, part of the site near Guildford, Surrey or the Government-run diagnostic and research centre, the Institute for Animal Health (IAH). Both organisations at the site use the strain of the virus detected in the slaughtered cattle, but have insisted there was no evidence of biosecurity breaches at their labs. Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister, said investigations would continue. "Throughout, our aim has been to control, contain and eradicate this disease and the efforts continue and indeed have been stepped up in the last day." he said. "We're hopeful that we'll have a further report on this tomorrow (Wednesday) so that any further action can be taken" "They're also investigating the movements of people as one possibility, a real possibility," he said. Tests confirmed a second outbreak of foot and mouth disease southwest of London, Britain's Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said, raising fears that the highly contagious virus could spread to herds across southern England. A second batch of cows, tested late on Monday, were within the initial three kilometre radius (two mile radius) protection zone set up on Friday around the farm where the first group of infected cattle was found, UK Environment Secretary Hilary Benn said. The Surrey farmer who reported the second case wept as he told how his herd was struck down. John Gunner, 60, said his cattle, more than 1-hundred Charolais and Sussex cows, had all been culled after one group of them exhibited signs of the disease. Recalling his favourite bull, Ned, he said: "By then my old bull Ned... this lovely old bull... great loss. It's a great loss. (He was) very kind and just like having a real pet dog, you know."." Roger Pride, who runs the farm near Godalming, Surrey, where the first outbreak was confirmed, said he was shocked and devastated. "It's just disastrous," said Pride. "It's taken 20 years to build the shop up, and we've got a good reputation; that's the sort of thing that is hard to get back again." He said he believed contamination of a local sewer could have caused the cases. About 120 of Pride's cows were slaughtered on Saturday after the virus was identified and confirmed in two animals, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said. In a statement which was read to media by NUF Communications Director Anthony Gibson, the Pride family said they had practised "the highest standards of biosecurity at Woolford Farm". The outbreaks occurred just four miles (6.5 kilometres) from a laboratory that produces vaccines containing the same, rarely-seen strain of foot-and-mouth disease, British officials said. Anthony Gibson, Director of Communications at National Farmers Union (NFU), said all efforts was focused on containing the virus and hoping that no secondary infections would happen. "The absolute priority is to root out every last vestige of infection," said Gibson. "If we can get that right then we can get the industry back to normal relatively quickly. If the disease does get out of control then things will look dreadful, frankly," he added. British broadcaster Sky News reported that the culled animals were taken to an incineration facility in Frome, Somerset, and later dead cows were filmed being put in a large metal container at the facility British authorities have informed the European Commission about the second case. Farm exports of milk, meat and livestock have been banned, a decision endorsed by the European Commission. The commission also backed London's decision to halt the movement of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs nationwide to prevent the spread of the virus. "In accordance with normal procedures, the UK authorities have ordered the culling of the animals on this holding as soon as possible," EU spokesman Philip Tod told a news conference. Foot and mouth disease affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cows, sheep, pigs and goats, but does not typically affect humans.
