Dr. Barrett said that other countries would not take it. It has been asked already, but what is the likelihood of us vaccinating cattle? The other animals we are discussing are wild and it is very hard to contain them, but our cattle are in pens and sheds. They are not wild animals, as such. Vaccinating them would be the easier thing to do. Why are we not pushing that more?
