...dairy cattle, sharply reducing their milk production and afflicting them with sterility, heart trouble and chronic lameness. Produced by a virus, the disease is rampantly contagious, can be carried by humans (who very rarely contract it), birds, wild animals, frozen meat and even the wind. To combat its dread effects, Britain's Ministry of Agriculture has adopted a Draconian policy: the slaughter of an entire herd if even one animal has been stricken.
