Foot-and-Mouth Disease and the Responsibilities Involved

The author sets aside any state responsibilities and potential illegalities regarding the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in Larnaca. He focuses on the fact that, according to the Veterinary Services, a circular was sent to livestock farmers two months ago with instructions on how to protect their businesses. The author questions whether the farmers implemented these measures to protect their income and livelihood, pointing out that they should not expect the state to protect them, but rather take responsibility for the safety of their businesses themselves.
